tiramisù
Place egg yolks in Cuisinart
®
mixing bowl. Insert the
chef’s whisk. Turn to speed 3 and mix to break up yolks.
Add sugar and wine and continue to mix for another
30 seconds. Place mixing bowl over a saucepan of
simmering water, being careful not to let the bottom
of the bowl touch the water. Whisk continuously by
hand for about 5 minutes, until mixture becomes very
thick and reaches 165°F (74°C). Once mixture comes
to temperature, return to the stand mixer. Mix on
speed 8 until mixture is cool. This egg mixture is called
a sabayon.
While the sabayon is cooling, place mascarpone in a
separate mixing bowl. With a rubber spatula, mix up
mascarpone until smooth. Once sabayon is cool, fold it
into the mascarpone in 3 additions with a large rubber
spatula. Be sure to fully incorporate the 2 mixtures
together evenly.
Transfer mixture to a separate mixing bowl. Wash the
Cuisinart
®
mixing bowl and whisk and rinse with cold
water, then dry. Insert the chef’s whisk. Place heavy
cream and two tablespoons Kahlúa
®
in the Cuisinart
®
mixing bowl. Turn to speed 4 and then increase to
speed 7 for about 1½ minutes to whip until soft peaks
form. Fold the cream into the mascarpone mixture in
3 additions, using a large rubber spatula.
Mix the espresso and remaining 2 tablespoons (30 ml)
of Kahlúa
®
in a shallow pan. Dip the ladyfingers in the
espresso mixture, 4 seconds on each side. Line the
dipped ladyfingers on the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm)
square pan, cutting them to fit the pan as you need
them. Pour half the mascarpone/cream mixture on top
of the ladyfingers. Repeat with a second layer of soaked
ladyfingers. Finish by pouring the remaining cream on
top. Cover with plastic and chill for at least 6 hours.
When ready to serve, dust the top with cocoa powder
and/or chocolate curls.
