Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 5 oz (145 g) mascarpone cheese
- 1 cups (350 ml) whipping cream
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 oz (75 g) sugar
- 1/3 cup strong black coffee
- 1/4 cup marsala wine
- 10 ladyfingers
- cocoa
- 2 pears
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp cardamom
- 1 cups (200 ml) dry white wine
Instructions
- Whip the cream and combine it with mascarpone.
- Combine egg yolks with sugar and vanilla extract and cook using a double boiler, whisking constantly, for 10 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy and pale in color. Let cool slightly, then combine with mascarpone and cream.
- Combine black coffee with marsala wine and soak ladyfingers in that mixture. Cut each ladyfinger in half and place them into serving glasses.
- Wash, peel, core, and cut pears into 4 pieces. Place them in a pot, add white wine, sugar, and spices. Cook until the pears soften and the liquid reduces to a syrup. Place the poached pears on top of the ladyfingers and pour the syrup over them.
- Let cool slightly, then add the mascarpone mixture.
- Sprinkle with cocoa.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality mascarpone cheese and strong brewed espresso.
- If pears are not in season, substitute with other poached fruits like apples or peaches.
- Cover and refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld before serving.
