Amaretto Tiramisu Recipes

CLASSIC ITALIAN TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Combine egg yolks and sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and creamy. Add mascarpone cheese and 2 tablespoons amaretto. Beat well.
• Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl with clean beaters until stiff peaks form. Fold beaten egg whites into the mascarpone mixture.
• Pour espresso and remaining 2 tablespoons amaretto into a shallow dish. Stir well. Working one at a time, quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture and line the bottom of an 8-inch glass dish.
• Once the bottom of the dish is covered in an even layer of espresso-soaked ladyfingers, top with 1/2 the mascarpone mixture. Repeat with another ladyfinger layer, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture. Chill in the refrigerator for about 4 hours.
• Dust with cocoa powder before serving.

AMARETTO TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Start by making the sabayon and whisk the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract until smooth. Bring a pot of water to a simmer and place bowl on top of the pot, making sure the water is not touching the bottom of the bowl.
• Continue whisking for about 10 minutes, until mixture is slightly thickened and a light yellow color. Remove from heat and set aside while you prep the rest of the tiramisu.
• Using an electric mixer, whisk mascarpone, dark rum and amaretto until smooth. Slowly drizzle in egg mixture and whisk until combined.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream until soft-medium peaks, about 3-5 minutes. Then fold in half of the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until incorporated and finish with the other half. The mixture will look a bit loose but will firm up as it chills.
• Meanwhile, in another bowl, stir the coffee, dark rum and Amaretto together. Dip both sides of the ladyfingers into the coffee mixture and place in a 9inch x 13inch casserole dish, lining up the ladyfingers so they are in a snug single layer.
• Spread half of the mascarpone mixture onto the first layer and dip the rest of the ladyfingers into the coffee mixture for the second layer and spreading the remaining mascarpone mixture on top.
• Place a sheet of plastic wrap

AMARETTO TIRAMISU FOR TWO

Steps:

• Whip the heavy cream in a bowl with a handheld electric mixer until it holds stiff peaks. Set in the fridge.
• In a large bowl, cream together the mascarpone, sugar, vanilla and 1 1/2 tablespoons amaretto, by hand, using a spatula or wooden spoon. Fold in the whipped cream and set aside.
• Add the coffee and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons amaretto to a shallow bowl and set aside.
• Dip 2 of the ladyfinger halves in the coffee mixture and lay them in the bottom of a 4-ounce glass. Spoon some of the cream mixture over them, sprinkle with some cocoa powder and repeat with another layer of dipped cookie halves, cream and cocoa powder. Repeat the same process with the remaining ingredients in another glass, cover with some plastic wrap and pop them in the fridge to set for a few hours.
• When ready to serve, sprinkle the tiramisu with the broken amaretti cookies and a little extra cocoa powder.

SOPRANOS STYLE TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Whisk mascarpone cheese, sugar, and amaretto liqueur together in a bowl until smooth.
• Beat cream in a glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: whipped cream will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture.
• Pour espresso into a bowl. Dip ladyfingers into espresso and arrange 12 dipped ladyfingers in an 8-inch square pan. Spread 1/2 the mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers. Grate 1 chocolate square over mascarpone layer. Repeat a second layer with remaining dipped ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and chocolate, respectively. Refrigerate tiramisu until set, at least 2 hours.

TIRAMISU WITH AMARETTO

Steps:

• Whisk the egg yolks together with the sugar to a light yellow and fluffy mix.
• Place the mascarpone in a bowl and use a fork to break it up a bit. Add one tablespoon of the amaretto and the zest of the lemon. Stir through till smooth. You can add a bit of lemon juice if you want to keep the flavor lighter. Fold the egg yolks through the mascarpone with a spatula.
• Mix the coffee with about 100 ml of water and add two tablespoons of amaretto.
• Dip each lady finger in the coffee mixture and place them side by side in a flat ovendish (or other bowl) Don't leave the lady fingers in too long as it will get soggy. But also don't leave it in too short as you do want the liquid to be absorbed a bit by the cookies.
• Once the bottom of the bowl is covered, you divide half of your mascarpone mixture over it. Add some grated or chopped chocolate. Make a second layer with the lady fingers (dipped again) and spread the other half of the mascarpone mix on top.
• Using a spatula smooth out the top of the tiramisu, cover with plastic foil and leave to set in the fridge for at least 4 hours, but preferably a night.
• Before serving dust with cacao powder and some chopped chocolate.
