This coming week is the Jewish holiday Shavuot, in which it is tradition to serve dairy foods of all sorts. I have the craving to make Tiramisu this holiday, a very dairy dessert, albeit using a very Italian cheese (Mascarpone). This version doesn’t fit the standards of the traditional Italian form which is usually made and served in family sized portions. When made in one large baking dish this dessert has the tendency to “get messy”- after taking out piece by piece to serve to your guests the beautiful layers become blurred. Although beauty can be found in messy desserts, I have a weakness for desserts served in individual glasses. I’ve decided to share this individual size tiramisu recipe. The Mascarpone should be taken out of the fridge about 15 minutes before preparation, so that it can soften a bit.
Ingredients for 6 servings:
3 egg yolks
½ cup sugar
½ pound mascarpone cheese
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons instant coffee powder or espresso powder, mixed with a half a cup of warm water
¼ cup Kahlua liqueur (Marsala or Amaretto work fine as well)
3.5 oz. Lady fingers
For decoration:
Cocoa Powder
Preparation:
Check back this coming Tuesday for a special Shavuot recipe!
