SALTED CARAMEL TIRAMISU

These ladyfingers are soaked with espresso and layered with a light, airy cream filling of mascarpone cheese and Grand Marnier® brandy. A salted caramel sauce rounds this dessert out, elevating it to not just another run-of-the-mill tiramisu. Tiramisu can be chilled up to 2 days, but no longer or else the ladyfingers will break down and become mushy.

Time 6h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 ½ cups brewed espresso, at room temperature
4 tablespoons brandy-based orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier®), divided
4 tablespoons white sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 egg yolks
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 (3 ounce) package savoiardi biscuits (ladyfingers)
2 tablespoons grated bittersweet chocolate, or to taste
2 tablespoons cocoa powder, divided, or as needed
1 cup white sugar
¼ cup cold water
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste

Steps:

Combine brewed espresso, 2 tablespoons liqueur, 1 tablespoon sugar, and vanilla extract in a wide bowl. Set aside.
Set a bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Add remaining liqueur, 3 tablespoons sugar, and egg yolks to the bowl. Beat using an electric mixer on medium speed until tripled in volume, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and beat in mascarpone cheese until just combined. Let cool, 5 to 10 minutes.
Whip cream in a bowl using an electric mixer until it holds stiff peaks, 3 to 4 minutes. Fold 1/2 of the whipped cream into the cooled mascarpone mixture. Fold in remaining cream until fully incorporated; whipped cream will deflate a little.
Dip 1/2 of the ladyfingers very quickly into the espresso mixture. Line the bottom of a 9-inch square dish with cookies, breaking a few to fit as needed. Spoon 1/2 of the mascarpone filling over and spread into an even layer. Top with grated chocolate.
Dip remaining ladyfingers quickly into espresso and arrange a second layer over filling. Spoon remaining mascarpone mixture over, and dust with 1 tablespoon cocoa powder. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
Remove tiramisu from the refrigerator and leave at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir sugar and cold water together in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, without stirring, until sugar has turned a deep amber hue, 10 to 12 minutes.
Warm cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, 3 to 4 minutes. Whisk cream slowly into the caramel and let simmer over medium-low heat until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in butter, followed by salt.
Dust tiramisu with remaining cocoa powder and serve with warm caramel sauce.

Time 2h15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 large pastured egg yollks, room temperature
8 oz mascarpone cheese
2 tablespoons caramel sauce, prepared, plus more for drizzling
9 ladyfingers, italian
½ cup espresso, strong brewed, cooled
whipped cream, for serving
flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

Add the sugar and egg yolks in a small bowl and whisk vigorously until the mixture thickens and falls back on itself in a ribbon when the whisk is lifted, 6-8 minutes. Fold in the mascarpone and caramel sauce to combine evenly.
Break each ladyfinger in half crosswise. Dunk each half briefly in the espresso and arrange 3 halves, side by side, in the bottom of each of two cocktail glasses. (You may need to squish them tightly together to fit). Top each with 3 heaping tablespoons of the caramel-mascarpone mixture and smooth the tops with the back of the spoon. Continue layering the ladyfinger halves and the caramel-mascarpone mixture to make 3 layers. Discard any remaining espresso. Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, and up to 24 hours (the longer it sits, the better it gets).
When ready to serve, uncover and top each glass with a dollop of whipped cream. Drizzle with more caramel sauce and sprinkle each with a pinch of flaky salt.
Enjoy!

Tips:

To make a perfectly smooth and creamy salted caramel sauce, use high-quality butter and heavy cream. Make sure to whisk constantly until the sauce is thickened and smooth.
For the best flavor, use freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee. You can also use decaf coffee if you prefer.
When dipping the ladyfingers in the coffee mixture, do not soak them for too long, or they will become soggy. Just a quick dip is enough.
When layering the tiramisu, start with a layer of ladyfingers, then a layer of salted caramel sauce, then a layer of mascarpone mixture. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the dish.
Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.
When serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder or grated chocolate.

Conclusion:

Salted caramel tiramisu is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its rich and creamy texture, salted caramel sauce, and coffee-flavored ladyfingers, this tiramisu is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
