Best Tiramisu With Honeycomb Crunch Recipes

TIRAMISU WITH HONEYCOMB

Steps:

• Put the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon sugar in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric whisk for 3-4 minutes, until pale, thick and moussey. In a separate bowl, soften the mascarpone with the vanilla extract, then gradually beat in the yolk mixture until smooth.
• Softly whip the double cream, then fold it into the mascarpone mixture. In a clean, dry mixing bowl (make sure the beaters are really clean, too), whisk the egg white to medium peaks. Lightly fold into the mascarpone mixture and set aside.
• Sweeten the coffee with the remaining sugar, then stir in the Tia Maria. Dip four sponge fingers in the coffee mixture and use them to line the base of two serving glasses. Spoon or pipe over a layer of the mascarpone mixture, then sprinkle over some of the Crunchie.
• Repeat, layering the dipped sponge fingers, mascarpone mix and Crunchie until you reach the top of the glasses. Chill for at least 20 minutes, then sprinkle over the dark chocolate to serve.

CLASSIC TIRAMISù

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer in a medium bowl, whip together egg yolks and 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar until very pale yellow and about tripled in volume. A slight ribbon should fall from the beaters (or whisk attachment) when lifted from the bowl. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, wiping out the medium bowl used to whip the yolks and set aside.
• In the medium bowl, whip cream and remaining 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar until it creates soft-medium peaks. Add mascarpone and continue to whip until it creates a soft, spreadable mixture with medium peaks. Gently fold the mascarpone mixture into the sweetened egg yolks until combined.
• Combine espresso and rum in a shallow bowl and set aside.
• Using a sifter, dust the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish (an 8x8-inch dish, or a 9-inch round cake pan would also work here) with 1 tablespoon cocoa powder.
• Working one at a time, quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture -- they are quite porous and will fall apart if left in the liquid too long -- and place them rounded side up at the bottom of the baking dish. Repeat, using half the ladyfingers, until you've got an even layer, breaking the ladyfingers in half as needed to fill in any obvious gaps (a little space in between is O.K.). Spread half the mascarpone mixture onto the ladyfingers in one even layer. Repeat with remaining espresso-dipped ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
• Dust top layer with remaining tablespoon of cocoa powder. Top with shaved or finely grated chocolate, if desired.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (if you can wait 24 hours, all the better) before slicing or scooping to serve.
