Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert that has become popular all over the world. It is a layered dessert that consists of ladyfingers soaked in coffee and a creamy filling made with mascarpone cheese, eggs, and sugar. There are many variations of tiramisu, and one of the most delicious is Gino's Tiramisu.
Ingredients
To make Gino's Tiramisu, you will need the following ingredients:
6 egg yolks
3/4 cup white sugar
2/3 cup milk
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pound mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup strong brewed coffee
24 ladyfingers
Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Custard
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined. Whisk in the milk and place the saucepan over low heat. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth.
Step 3: Combine the Custard and Cream
Fold the cooled custard into the whipped cream until well combined. Add the mascarpone cheese and fold until everything is well combined.
Step 4: Soak the Ladyfingers
Pour the coffee into a shallow dish. Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee, making sure to soak it well but not letting it get too soggy.
Step 5: Assemble the Tiramisu
In a 9x13 inch dish, arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in a single layer. Spoon half of the custard mixture over the ladyfingers and spread it out evenly. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining custard mixture.
Step 6: Chill and Serve
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder.
