Scale
- 12-18 ladyfingers
- 1 cups (237 ml) mascarpone cheese
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/3 cups (85 ml) sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cups (59 ml) Nutella
- 1/2 cups (118 ml) strong black coffee
- 2 tbsp Kahlúa
- cocoa powder
- 4 egg whites
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 2/3 cups (156 ml) sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cups (237 ml) flour
- powdered sugar
- butter or oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper and grease with butter or oil.
- Place egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer with a whisk attachment and beat until soft peaks form. Slowly add in 2 tablespoons of sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Scrape whites into a separate medium bowl. Add yolks and 2/3 cup sugar to the mixer bowl. Beat until light in color and frothy. Add extracts, salt, and baking powder and mix well.
- Fold in the egg white mixture with a rubber spatula until mostly mixed, then sift in flour and continue folding until evenly combined.
- Fit a piping bag with a 1/2 inch round tip and fill with the mixture. Pipe into 4 1/2 inch lady fingers, about 1/2 inch apart on the trays. Dust with powdered sugar and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned on the outside. Remove and cool.
- For the Tiramisu:
- Combine yolks and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until light in color. Add mascarpone, salt, and vanilla and beat until smooth.
- Take 1 1/2 cups of the mixture and add Nutella to the remaining mixture. Beat until creamy smooth.
- Mix coffee and Kahlúa in a small bowl.
- Layer coffee-dipped lady fingers, then white cream, then Nutella cream, then a dusting of cocoa. Repeat layers until the dish or glasses are full.
Notes
- To intensify the coffee flavor, use freshly brewed espresso instead of regular coffee.
- For a less intense Nutella flavor, reduce the amount of Nutella in the cream to 1/8 cup.
- Store assembled tiramisu in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
