Tiramisu?
| 
Mar 25 04:17 UTC 1993 |
Anybody have a recipe for Tiramisu?
Tiramisu is a dessert made of ladyfingers soaked in something-or-other
(brandy? coffee?), smothered in custard-y stuff, sprinkled with cinamon
and maybe nutmeg, and served practically everywhere lately. Someone
on rec.food.cooking called it the latest yuppie food fad. And oh is it
good! Anybody got a recipe?

There were a bunch of tiramisu recipes posted on Usenet last
week. Did you see them, Valerie? I downloaded a couple of
collections, and I'd be happy to mail them to you, if I could
only figure out how to upload to Grex with xmodem or something...

i didn't see them (though i do remember a bunch of discussion of
tiramisu - which i hadn't yet tried at the time - on rec.food.cooking
a few months ago). could you upload them?
to upload a file named "foo" with xmodem, on the grex side type
"rx foo". (i *think* you need the foo in there). then on your
PC side start sending the file.
disclaimer: i've never tried this. :S
thanx!

Classic Tiramisu from Bon Appetit, January 1993
Makes 8 servings
2 cups Marsala
1.5 cups sugar
12 egg yolks
.5 cups water (hot)
2 teaspoons instant expresso powder or instant coffee powder
1 pound mascarpone cheese *
3 3-ounce packages of soft ladyfingers, split in half
2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Whisk 1.5 cups Marsala, .75 cups sugar, and yolks in a large metal bowl.
Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
Using a poratble electric mixer, beat the mixture until a candy thermometer
registers 160dF. (About 15 minutes.)
Remove the bowl from the water. Set the Zabaglione aside.
****************************
Combine the hot water and expresso powder in a large bowl; stir to dissolve.
Add mascarpone cheese and the remaining .75 cup sugar. Beat to blend.

Cover the bottom of a 9x13x2-inch glass baking dish with a single layer of
lady fingers, flat side up.

Cut the tiramisu into squares.
Place 2 Tablespoons strwberry or rasberry sauce in plates and place tiramisu
on top.
*Note: masscarpone is Italian cream cheese. It's available at
Italian markets and some specialty shops. If you can't find it
you can improvise by blending:

And Cottage Inn Cafe (on Washtenaw near the A & W) and at the Olive
Garden and, lately, at practically every restaurant with a dessert
tray. Mmmmm!
