Best Individual Tiramisus Recipes

TIRAMISU II

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until well blended. Whisk in milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Boil gently for 1 minute, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Cover tightly and chill in refrigerator 1 hour.
• In a medium bowl, beat cream with vanilla until stiff peaks form.
• Whisk mascarpone into yolk mixture until smooth.
• In a small bowl, combine coffee and rum. Split ladyfingers in half lengthwise and drizzle with coffee mixture.
• Arrange half of soaked ladyfingers in bottom of a 7x11 inch dish. Spread half of mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers, then half of whipped cream over that. Repeat layers and sprinkle with cocoa. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours, until set.

MINI TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Combine the cream, sugar and vanilla in a bowl and beat until stiff peaks form. Beat in the mascarpone.
• Combine the espresso and rum in a shallow bowl.
• Break the ladyfingers into thirds to make 18 pieces. To build the first tiramisu, quickly dip 2 pieces in the coffee mixture, then place in the bottom of a small glass.
• Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the mascarpone mixture on top. With a rasp or the smallest holes on a box grater, grate a fine layer of the chocolate over the mascarpone mixture. Repeat 2 more times to fill the glass, then repeat the whole process for the second tiramisu.
• Using a fine sieve, dust the tops with cocoa powder. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.

TIRAMISU BARS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, beat 3/4 cup flour, 1/2 cup softened butter and the powdered sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until soft dough forms. Spread evenly in bottom of ungreased 8-inch square pan. Bake 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat remaining bar ingredients except grated chocolate with wire whisk until smooth.
• Sprinkle 1 cup of the grated chocolate over hot baked crust. Pour egg mixture over chocolate.
• Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown and set. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
• In medium bowl, beat cream cheese and 1/4 cup whipping cream on medium speed about 2 minutes or until fluffy. Spread over cooled bars. Sprinkle with remaining grated chocolate. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Garnish each with chocolate curl. Store covered in refrigerator.

INDIVIDUAL TIRAMISU

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat egg yolks with 3 tablespoons sugar until foamy and pale. Beat in mascarpone until smooth; set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk egg whites until frothy. Add remaining tablespoon of sugar, and beat until they hold stiff peaks. Fold the mascarpone mixture into the egg white mixture. Set aside.
• Pour vermouth into a small bowl. Reserve 5 amaretti cookies to crumble and sprinkle over the top of the dessert. One at a time, quickly dip the remaining cookies into vermouth; they should absorb some of the liquid but not be mushy. Place the soaked cookies in a snug layer in the bottom of 8 individual serving bowls or a 9-inch baking dish. Evenly spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the cookies. Repeat layering: Place another layer of soaked cookies over the mascarpone, and then spread remaining mascarpone mixture. End with a layer of soaked cookies that are loosely arranged so that the cream mixture below is visible. Sprinkle with crumbled cookies. Refrigerate to set for at least 2 hours before serving.
