Espresso Mascarpone Cream Recipes

ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH ESPRESSO MASCARPONE CREAM

Steps:

• Stir the water and espresso powder in a large bowl to blend. Stir in the mascarpone. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream in another large bowl, while slowly adding powdered sugar, until soft peaks form. Using a large rubber spatula, fold 1/4 of the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture to lighten. Then fold the remaining whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
• Cut the angel food cake into 16 (1-inch thick) wedges. Reserve any remaining cake for another use. Brush 1 side of each wedge of cake with the liqueur. Arrange 2 wedges of cake on each plate. Dollop the espresso cream atop each wedge of cake. Dust with the cocoa powder and serve.

• In a medium bowl beat the cream and sugar until thick peaks appear (very thick).
• In a medium bowl beat (with same beaters) the mascarpone and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

THE BEST EASY TIRAMISU RECIPE

Steps:

• Prep for the recipe by setting out all cold ingredients and making the espresso. Pour the espresso into a shallow dish and add the rum. Set aside. Set out a separate 9X13 inch baking dish to layer the tiramisu.
• Set a double boiler (or a small pot with a glass bowl resting over the top) on the stovetop. Add 1 inch of water to the lower section and turn the heat on medium. Add the egg yolks and sugar to the top of the double boiler. Vigorously whisk the sabayon mixture for 8-10 minutes over the heat until it is very smooth, thick, and much lighter in color. (It should look like lemon pudding.) Remove from heat and let it cool a little.
• In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, whip the heavy cream into firm peaks. (Start on low speed, and gradually move to high, until the whipped cream is very thick and firm.) Remove the whipped cream from the mixer bowl and place it in another bowl.
• Then scoop the sabayon egg mixture into the stand mixer bowl and add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla. Whip until very smooth. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula and beat again to incorporate any chunks.
• Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture with a spatula. (Do not beat!) Continue to fold until the mixture is very even.
• One at a time, dunk the Ladyfingers into the espresso mixture. Roll them over and remove them immediately. DO NOT let the Ladyfingers soak in the espresso; they will dissolve! Once dunked, arrange the Ladyfingers in a single layer, in the bottom of the baking dish. You should be able to fit 20-22 Ladyfingers in one layer.
• Use a spatula to spread half of the mascarpone cream over the Ladyfingers in the dish. Then repeat with a second layer of Ladyfingers and a second layer of mascarpone cream. (4 layers total) Then place the tiramisu in the refrigerator, uncovered, and chill for at least 4 hours. You can chill overnight, but make sure to cover the top with plastic after the first few hours.
• When ready to serve, place the cocoa powder in a sifter. Use the sifter to sprinkle a heavy even layer of cocoa powder over the top of the tiramisu. Cut and serve!

ESPRESSO AND MASCARPONE ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• Beat 2 cups cream with 6 tablespoons sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until it just holds soft peaks, 2 to 4 minutes. Reduce speed to low, then add mascarpone and mix until combined.
• Spread 1 1/4 cups mascarpone mixture evenly in bottom of springform pan and cover with 14 wafers, slightly overlapping if necessary. Spread with another 1 1/4 cups mascarpone mixture, followed by 14 more wafers arranged in the same manner. Spread remaining mascarpone mixture on top. Smooth top with a metal offset spatula, then cover pan with foil and freeze until firm, about 1 hour. Transfer from freezer to refrigerator and chill, covered, until a sharp knife inserted into center cuts through softened wafers easily, about 8 hours.
• Pulse remaining chocolate wafers in a food processor until finely ground.
• Beat remaining cup cream with espresso powder and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar using electric mixer at medium speed until it just holds stiff peaks, about 3 minutes.
• Remove foil and side of pan and frost cake all over with espresso cream. Sprinkle edge of top lightly with wafer crumbs. Serve cold.
