ORANGE PUSH UP

For a non-alcoholic version, omit the Orangecello liqueur and double the amount of fresh orange juice. I recently discovered that it's much less expensive to purchase canned cream of coconut at the Asian market rather than at a conventional grocery store.

PICK ME UP

This is a Cinderella dessert story. From simple leftovers-some coffee, leftover cake or cookies, an enrichment of cream or mascarpone-a prince of a dessert is born. Tiramisù is an Italian creation but its popularity in America began in San Francisco, and today it is as beloved in the United States as it is in Italy. In Italy this kind of dessert is categorized as dolce al cucchiaio (desserts to be eaten with a spoon), as is zuppa inglese. Tiramisù can be made in advance, keeps well, is great to serve big numbers, and can even be frozen and remain delicious.

Yield serves 10 or more

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups mascarpone, at room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 cups freshly brewed espresso
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup coffee liqueur
48 savoiardi cookies (ladyfingers)

Steps:

  • Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water, and keep it warm in the double boiler.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the cream in an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until it just holds soft peaks. (Don't overwhip, because you will be whisking it again with the mascarpone, and you don't want to make butter!)
  • Whisk the mascarpone in a separate bowl with the mixer on medium speed until smooth. Sift in the confectioners' sugar and whisk until smooth. Whisk the whipped cream into the mascarpone until they are just combined. Refrigerate if not using right away.
  • Combine the espresso and granulated sugar in a medium saucepan set over low heat. Cook until the sugar has dissolved, then stir in the coffee liqueur. Remove from heat, and stir in about two-thirds of the melted chocolate. Pour the chocolate-espresso mixture into a large shallow pan, big enough to soak half the savoiardi at one time. Add half of the savoiardi to the soaking liquid, and soak, turning to coat all sides, until almost soaked through, about 1 minute.
  • Arrange the savoiardi in two rows in the bottom of an 9-by-13-inch (3-quart) Pyrex dish or ceramic dish to make a tight bottom layer, breaking as necessary to patch empty spaces. Drizzle with a third of the remaining warm melted chocolate. Spread half of the mascarpone in an even layer over the top of the cookies.
  • Soak the remaining twenty-four savoiardi in the remaining soaking liquid. (You should have used up most of the soaking liquid by this point.) Arrange the soaked savoiardi on top of the mascarpone, just as you did the first layer, and drizzle with another third of the warm melted chocolate.
  • Spread the remaining mascarpone in an even layer over top. Pour the remaining melted chocolate on top. Use a toothpick or paring knife to make lines at 2-inch intervals connecting the long sides of the pan. Now make perpendicular lines through the chocolate to create a crosshatch pattern. Chill the tiramisù at least 4 hours or up to overnight before cutting into squares to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oranges: Use fresh, ripe oranges for the best flavor. Look for oranges that are heavy for their size and have a deep orange color.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them: This will release the flavorful oils from the orange peel. You can use a microplane grater or a vegetable peeler to zest the oranges.
  • Add a little honey or maple syrup to taste: This will help to balance the tartness of the oranges. You can also add other sweeteners, such as sugar or stevia, to taste.
  • Serve the orange pick-me-up immediately: This drink is best enjoyed fresh. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but the flavor will be best if you drink it right away.

Conclusion:

The orange pick-me-up is a refreshing and flavorful drink that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you're looking for a healthy breakfast drink, a midday pick-me-up, or a refreshing after-dinner treat, the orange pick-me-up is a great choice. So next time you're looking for a delicious and healthy drink, give the orange pick-me-up a try.
