Tiramisu Jars Recipes

TIRAMISU JARS

Steps:

• 1. Whip the cream with the sugar and vanilla extract until stiff, then fold in room-temperature mascarpone cheese. 2. Combine the cooled espresso with the coffee liqueur, then individually dip each ladyfinger in themixture and place them close to one another on your dish or in your jar. 3. Layer on some of the cream mixture and repeat layers of cream and ladyfingers. 4. Garnish with cocoa powder or shaved milk chocolate and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Bon appetito!

MINI TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Combine the cream, sugar and vanilla in a bowl and beat until stiff peaks form. Beat in the mascarpone.
• Combine the espresso and rum in a shallow bowl.
• Break the ladyfingers into thirds to make 18 pieces. To build the first tiramisu, quickly dip 2 pieces in the coffee mixture, then place in the bottom of a small glass.
• Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the mascarpone mixture on top. With a rasp or the smallest holes on a box grater, grate a fine layer of the chocolate over the mascarpone mixture. Repeat 2 more times to fill the glass, then repeat the whole process for the second tiramisu.
• Using a fine sieve, dust the tops with cocoa powder. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.

TIRAMISU IN A JAR

Steps:

• Beat cream cheese spread in large bowl with mixer until creamy. Gradually add milk, then dry pudding mix, beating well after each addition. Gently stir in 1 cup COOL WHIP.
• Place half the cake cubes evenly in 8 jars or dessert dishes. Drizzle 1 tsp. coffee over cake in each jar; top each with 1/4 cup pudding mixture and a sprinkle of chocolate. Cover with remaining cake cubes, coffee, pudding mixture, chocolate and COOL WHIP. Top with raspberries.
• Refrigerate 2 hours.

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.
