Tiramisu Trifle With Zabaglione Filling Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare Zabaglione by placing egg yolks in top of a double boiler.
• Add sugar and beat with portable mixer or rotary beater at medium speed until mixture is pale yellow and creamy.
• Place water in bottom of double boiler and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Reduce heat to lower and place top of double boiler over simmering water.
• Gradually beat 1/4 cup marsala into egg yolk mixture.
• Beat 1 minute.
• Gradually beat in remaining marsala and 1/4 cup white wine.
• Continue cooking custard over the simmering water approximately 4 to 8 minutes or until mixture is fluffy and soft peaks form from beaters.
• Beat constantly, scraping sides and bottom of pan frequently.
• DONOT over cook custard!
• Immediately remove from heat and whisk custard briefly.
• Cover and refrigerate Zabaglione until well chilled.
• Beat cream with 2 TB sugar in large bowl until soft peaks form.
• Gently fold in mascarpone cheese, then Zabaglione.
• Refrigerate at least 3 hours or until well chilled.
• Combine espresso, cognac and remaining 2 TB sugar and vanilla extract.
• Layer 1/4 of ladyfingers in a flower-petal design in a trifle dish.
• Generously brush ladyfingers with the espresso mixture.
• Spoon 1/4 of cheese mixture over ladyfingers to within 1 inch of sides of dish.
• Sprinkle with 1/4 of grated chocolate.
• Repeat these layers 3 more times.
• Sprinkle remaining 1/4 of chocolate around perimeter of cheese mixture and sift cocoa powder over the top of the cheese mixture.
• Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Add mascarpone cheese and beat until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of espresso and mix until thoroughly combined.
• In a small shallow dish, add remaining espresso and rum. Dip each ladyfinger into espresso for only 5 seconds. Letting the ladyfingers soak too long will cause them to fall apart. Place the soaked ladyfinger on the bottom of a 13 by 9 inch baking dish, breaking them in half if necessary in order to fit the bottom.
• Spread evenly 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Arrange another layer of soaked ladyfingers and top with remaining mascarpone mixture.
• Cover tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 8 hours.
• Before serving, sprinkle with chocolate shavings.

Steps:

• Mix 1/2 pound mascarpone with 3 tablespoons sugar. Dip 12 ladyfingers in a mix of 3/4 cup espresso and 1 tablespoon rum. Layer the mascarpone and ladyfingers in glasses, breaking the cookies to fit, if necessary. Top with whipped cream and dust with cocoa powder.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until blended. Whisk in 1/2 cup cream, the marsala and salt. Place the bowl over a large saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water). Whisk constantly until the mixture is thick and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 160 to 170 degrees F, about 15 minutes. Place the bowl on a work surface and add the chocolate chips. Whisk until the chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is smooth. (Can be made 1 hour in advance. Let stand at room temperature. Whisk before using.)
• Whisk the remaining 1/3 cup cream and the mascarpone in another medium bowl until thick. Dice the cake into small cubes. Place about 1/2 cup of the cake cubes into each of 6 old-fashioned glasses or water goblets. Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons of zabaglione on top. Top with a dollop of the mascarpone mixture. Repeat the layers. (Wrap any leftover cake cubes in plastic wrap and freeze.) Top with white chocolate curls and serve.

Steps:

• Whisk 1 1/3 cups sugar, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup rum, 3 tablespoons brandy, yolks, and nutmeg in metal bowl. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Whisk constantly until mixture thickens and candy thermometer inserted into mixture registers 140°F for 3 minutes, about 5 minutes total. Remove bowl from over water. Whisk mascarpone, 1 container at a time, into warm custard until blended.
• Using electric mixer, beat whipping cream, vanilla, 1 tablespoon brandy, and 1 teaspoon rum in large bowl until cream holds peaks. Fold in mascarpone mixture.
• Bring 1 cup water to simmer in small saucepan. Remove from heat. Add 2 tablespoons sugar and espresso powder; stir to dissolve. Mix in liqueur. Submerge 1 biscuit in espresso mixture, turning to coat twice; shake excess liquid back into pan. Place dipped biscuit, sugared side facing out, around bottom side of 14-cup trifle dish, pressing against side of dish (biscuit may break). Repeat with enough biscuits to go around bottom sides of dish once. Dip more biscuits and arrange over bottom of dish to cover.
• Spoon 2 cups mascarpone mixture over biscuits; spread to cover. Sprinkle 1/4 cup ground chocolate over, making chocolate visible at sides of dish. Repeat with more biscuits dipped into espresso mixture, mascarpone mixture, and ground chocolate in 2 more layers each. Cover with 1 more layer of dipped biscuits and enough mascarpone mixture to reach top of trifle dish. Sprinkle remaining ground chocolate over, covering completely. Cover and chill overnight.
• Gently press stem end of largest chocolate leaves around edge of trifle. Fill center with smaller leaves. (Can be made 8 hours ahead; chill.)
• *Available at Italian markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.

Steps:

• Combine the egg yolks, sugar, and Marsala in a bowl. Whip together, using a hand-held balloon whisk, until thoroughly blended. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water and heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture is thick, foamy and has reached 165 degrees F.
• Cool slightly and serve immediately or transfer the zabaglione to a container. Cover with plastic wrap placed directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Zabaglione may be served warm or at room temperature.
• Serving Size: 1/2 cup zabaglione with 2/3 cup berries.

Steps:

• Stir instant coffee granules and water together in a bowl until dissolved. Let cool.
• Beat cottage cheese, cream, and confectioners' sugar together in a separate bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Brush each ladyfinger cookie with coffee. Arrange a few ladyfingers in the bottom of 4 serving glasses. Spread a layer of cream filling atop the ladyfingers. Layer a few strawberry slices atop cream filling. Repeat with remaining ladyfingers, cream filling, and sliced strawberries, ending with a layer of cream filling. Garnish each glass with a whole strawberry.

Steps:

• Beat egg yolks with honey until thick and lemon colored in the top of a double boiler. Add wine gradually. While it heats, continue to use a rotary beater. Serve as drink or dessert sauce with a dash of cinnamon.

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:

• TO COOK THE ZABAGLIONE: Set up a double boiler or a medium-size stainless-steel bowl over a pot of simmering water. Check to make sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water, or the eggs may scramble.
• With a hand held electric mixer, beat the egg yolks and sugar together until pale yellow.
• Add the Marsala and set the bowl over the simmering water.
• Continue to beat with the electric mixer until the eggs triple in volume, thicken and reach a temperature of 140 F., as registered on an instant thermometer. Be sure to beat the eggs until they reach this temperature at which salmonella bacteria is killed. This will take about 10 to 15 minutes. Be sure to move the beater around the bowl so the eggs cook evenly; there will be quite a bit of spattering.
• TO SERVE THE ZABAGLIONE: Transfer the mixture to wine glasses and serve immediately accompanied by ladyfingers or Italian cookies known as "Savoiardi."
• An alternative way to serve this is to take slices of pound cake or panettone and set them on a broiler pan. Cover the cake slices with a layer of sliced strawberries or peeled Comice pear, and ladle a portion of the zabaglione over the fruit. Broil the slices for a minute or until the zabaglione is bubbling and lightly browned.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix the coffee and liqueur in a wide dish.
• In another bowl mix the mascarpone with the custard until smooth using an electric hand mixer.
• Take about a third of the sponge fingers and dip them in the coffee/liqueur mix and line the bottom of a glass dish with them, drizzle a bit more of the liquid over the sponge fingers.
• Now sprinkle over a third of the chocolate followed with a layer of the Mascarpone/custard mix.
• Repeat twice.
• Chill for at least 2 hours or up to a day.
• Just before serving sprinkle with the almonds and more chocolate.
