→ Toppings
12 -
Freeze dried berries, optional
13 -
1 1/4 cups (300ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
14 -
1/2 cup (58g) powdered sugar
15 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
# Steps:
01 -
Combine the berries and sugar in a large bowl. Toss to coat the berries in the sugar, then cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours to release their juices. Drain the juices into a measuring cup. Add the amaretto to the juice if desired, and water to make 2 cups of total liquid.
02 -
In a double boiler or heatproof bowl over simmering water, whisk egg yolks and sugar vigorously until the mixture thickens, turns pale yellow, and reaches 160°F. Set aside to cool. While cooling, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold the mascarpone into the egg mixture, then fold in the whipped cream in two parts.
03 -
Dip each ladyfinger into the berry juice for about 3 seconds, then layer them into a 9×13 pan. Add half of the mixed berries over the ladyfingers, followed by half of the mascarpone cream. Repeat to create a second layer. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or overnight.
04 -
Grind freeze-dried berries (if using) into powder and sprinkle over the tiramisu. Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to stiff peaks for decorating as desired. Serve immediately. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 48 hours.
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
Mascarpone should be slightly softened but cool to prevent separation.
02 -
Firm ladyfingers are required; soft ones are unsuitable for layering.
