Tiramisu al Marsala – The Star of the Show
Prepare yourself for a layering of flavors that will have you coming back for seconds! This Tiramisu is made with rich Marsala wine, lending a luxurious touch to the traditional recipe.
Ingredients
Before we dive into the instructions, let’s gather our star players:
- 6 large egg yolks
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup Marsala wine
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 24 ladyfinger cookies
- 1 cup brewed espresso, cooled
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
- Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for extra flair)
Instructions
Now let’s get our hands dirty and follow these easy steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until the mixture turns a light and fluffy pale color. This will take about 5 minutes of vigorous whisking.
- Pour in the Marsala wine and place the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Continuously whisk until the mixture reaches a thick, ribbon-like consistency (about 8-10 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Once cool, fold in the mascarpone cheese gently until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated. We want this as light as a cloud!
- Now for the assembly magic! Immerse each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso for just a second (don’t let them get too soggy! – a quick dip will do).
- In a rectangular dish, start layering: first a layer of soaked ladyfingers, then spread half of the mascarpone mixture over them. Repeat with another layer of ladyfingers and mascarpone, finishing with the mascarpone on top.
- Dust with cocoa powder and add chocolate shavings if you want to be fancy!
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but for best results, let it chill overnight.
And there you have it! A deliciously creamy Tiramisu al Marsala that’s sure to win hearts and taste buds alike. Serve it up cold, sit back, and bask in the glory of your culinary triumph!
