CLASSIC TIRAMISù

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer in a medium bowl, whip together egg yolks and 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar until very pale yellow and about tripled in volume. A slight ribbon should fall from the beaters (or whisk attachment) when lifted from the bowl. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, wiping out the medium bowl used to whip the yolks and set aside.
• In the medium bowl, whip cream and remaining 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar until it creates soft-medium peaks. Add mascarpone and continue to whip until it creates a soft, spreadable mixture with medium peaks. Gently fold the mascarpone mixture into the sweetened egg yolks until combined.
• Combine espresso and rum in a shallow bowl and set aside.
• Using a sifter, dust the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish (an 8x8-inch dish, or a 9-inch round cake pan would also work here) with 1 tablespoon cocoa powder.
• Working one at a time, quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture -- they are quite porous and will fall apart if left in the liquid too long -- and place them rounded side up at the bottom of the baking dish. Repeat, using half the ladyfingers, until you've got an even layer, breaking the ladyfingers in half as needed to fill in any obvious gaps (a little space in between is O.K.). Spread half the mascarpone mixture onto the ladyfingers in one even layer. Repeat with remaining espresso-dipped ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
• Dust top layer with remaining tablespoon of cocoa powder. Top with shaved or finely grated chocolate, if desired.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (if you can wait 24 hours, all the better) before slicing or scooping to serve.

Brush enough remaining cake slices to cover filling lightly with coffee mixture. Place slices atop filling, coffee side down, trimming cake to fit pan evenly.

TIRAMISU- COOKING LIGHT

• Combine first 6 ingredients in mixer or food processor. Mix until smooth; set aside.
• Mix together hot water and espresso granules in a small bowl. Split ladyfingers in half, lenthwise. Quickly dip 20 ladyfinger halves, cut side down, into espresso. Place dipped side down in the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish. Spread 2 cups of cheese mixture over ladyfinger halves. Repeat procedure with remaining ladyfingers, espresso, and cheese.

LIGHT TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Make the coffee and leave it to cool down slightly in a shallow dish (I use a large tupperware). You can add baileys to the mix if you want.
• Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until you have a pale and well combined mix. Add the ricotta and the yogurt after draining them of any excess water and mix well
• Whisk the egg whites until firm and add them to the rest of the mix delicately, so not to lose the fluffyness
• Dip half of the the savoiardi in the shallow dish with the coffee, very briefly, on both sides. Do only one biscuit at the time, so to avoid leaving them in the coffee for too long or they'll go soggy. Transfer them to a rectangular baking dish. (I use a 28x20cm ceramic dish). Spoon over a little more than half of the cheese and yogurt mix
• Dip the remaining half of the biscuits in the coffee and layer on top of the mix (dispose the biscuits perpendicular to the layer underneath, so it won't fall apart when you cut it). Spoon over the rest of the mix.
• Cover with foil and leave in the fridge to firm up for a couple of hours. Dust with cocoa powers through a small sieve before serving

• This dish can be made 1 or even 2 days in advance as the flavours intensify the longer you leave them. You can also vary the quantities of the ricotta and yogurt mix, using more of one and less of the other as long as you end up with 600gr in total.

EASY TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Remove bowl from heat and let cool slightly. Meanwhile, in another bowl, whisk cream to form peaks. Gently whisk mascarpone into egg mixture, then fold in whipped cream.
• Working one at a time, dip half of ladyfingers in coffee, about 1 second per side, and arrange in the bottom of a 9-by-9-inch baking dish; fit them snugly side by side to line dish. Evenly spread half of mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers. Dip remaining half of ladyfingers in coffee and repeat layering with cookies and mascarpone mixture.
• Sift a layer of cocoa over top so it infuses cream. Wrap dish with plastic and refrigerate at least 9 hours and up to 1 day. To serve, sift another layer of cocoa over top and cut into squares.
