Tiramisu For Two Recipes

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.

TIRAMISU FOR TWO

Steps:

• Sift about 1/3 of the cocoa powder into the serving glasses, dividing it equally between the two.
• Combine the espresso, rum and granulated sugar in a small, wide bowl and stir until the sugar dissolves. (Make sure your espresso is hot, which will help the sugar dissolve.)
• Beat the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla together in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Set the mascarpone cream aside.
• Break a lady finger in half so that the two halves will fit snugly into your serving glass. Dip both sides of the halves into the espresso mixture. (Don't linger in the espresso-the delicate lady fingers will disintegrate!)
• Place the lady finger pieces, hump-side up, in a layer in the serving glass. About two halves will fit in each layer. Top with about 2 tablespoons of the mascarpone cream and spread in an even layer. Sift in half of the remaining cocoa powder. Repeat the dipping and layering of the lady fingers and dolloping with the mascarpone cream until you reach the top of the serving glasses, finishing with the cream.
• Dust the remaining cocoa powder on top of each glass in an even layer. Refrigerate until ready to enjoy and serve chilled.
