Non Traditional Tiramisu Recipes

Steps:

• Beat 1/2 cup sugar, egg yolks, brandy, and 1 tablespoon espresso together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mascarpone cheese to sugar-egg mixture and beat until well blended, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Beat egg whites and a pinch sugar in a bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into mascarpone mixture.
• Pour remaining espresso into a shallow dish. Dip 1 side of each ladyfinger into the espresso and arrange on a serving platter in 2 horizontal rows of 6 with 2 1/2 ladyfingers in opposite direction on both ends to form a rectangular shape.
• Spread 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture onto the ladyfinger layer and dust with 1/2 of the cocoa powder. Repeat with remaining ladyfingers dipped in espresso, mascarpone mixture, and cocoa powder. Refrigerate tiramisu until ladyfingers have softened from the espresso and mascarpone mixture, 2 to 3 hours.

Steps:

• Combine egg yolks and sugar in the top of a double boiler, over boiling water. Reduce heat to low, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and whip yolks until thick and lemon colored.
• Add mascarpone to whipped yolks. Beat until combined. In a separate bowl, whip cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold into yolk mixture and set aside.
• Split the lady fingers in half, and line the bottom and sides of a large glass bowl. Brush with coffee liqueur. Spoon half of the cream filling over the lady fingers. Repeat ladyfingers, coffee liqueur and filling layers. Garnish with cocoa and chocolate curls. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
• To make the chocolate curls, use a vegetable peeler and run it down the edge of the chocolate bar.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl combine the mascarpone cheese, Frangelico liquor and sugar.
• In a separate bowl whip the whipping cream till soft peaks form.
• Gently fold mascarpone mixture into the whip cream.
• In an 8x8-inch glass serving dish layer 1/2 the ladyfingers tightly on the bottom.
• Drizzle 1/2 the espresso over the ladyfingers, trying to saturate them evenly.
• Spread 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture on top of the ladyfingers.
• Sprinkle 1/2 of the shaved chocolate over the top.
• Layer remaining ladyfingers on top of the shaved chocolate. Again, you are looking to get a nice tight layer.
• Drizzle the remaining espresso over the ladyfingers.
• Spread the rest of the mascarpone mixture on top of the ladyfingers. You can either spread it nice and smooth with a spatula OR spread the mixture and create soft peaks for texture and appearance.
• Sprinkle the remaining shaved chocolate on top.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight for best results (at least 8 hours).
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and 1/4 cup of the coffee in a medium sized bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, until mixture is creamy.
• Stir in the whipped topping, reserving 1/2 cup of topping for a garnish if desired (if not, add it all to the cream cheese).
• Place 24 vanilla wafers on the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, cutting some wafers to cover the bottom of the pan as much as possible.
• Brush or drizzle the wafers with some of the remaining 1/4 cup of coffee.
• Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the wafers and repeat layers, brushing wafers with coffee and ending with cream cheese mixture.
• Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Garnish with cocoa powder and optional reserved whipped topping.
