Calories: 451kcal
Ingredients
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 16 ounces mascarpone cheese (2 1/2 cups)
- 8 ounces semi sweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup heavy cream, cold
- 2 cups hot water
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for garnish
- 48 ladyfingers or savoiardi
Optional
- sweetened whipped cream for garnish
- shaved chocolate* for garnish
Instructions
- Place the egg yolks and sugar in a large metal mixing bowl, and set it over a pot of simmering water.
- Cook, whisking, until the mixture is pale, thick, and doubled in volume (about 5 minutes).
- Remove from the heat, and whisk in the mascarpone, melted chocolate, vanilla, and salt.
- Whip the cream until it holds stiff peaks.
- Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Set the filling aside.
- Whisk the hot water and cocoa together in a small bowl. One at a time, dip the ladyfingers into the cocoa mixture and place in a 9-inch by 13-inch pan. Line the ladyfingers up in two straight rows of twelve.
- Spread half the filling over the ladyfingers, and repeat.
- Spread the rest of the filling on top and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Optional: just before serving, dust the tiramisu with cocoa powder. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
Notes
*I made my shaved chocolate curls by running a veggie peeler down the long side of a bar of semi sweet chocolate.
