Welcome Chef Cate
Longtime friend and incredibly talented chef. We’re cooking, laughing, and of course, eating some delicious tiramisu together!
Ingredients: 5 large eggs separated; ¾ cup sugar (divided); 16 oz mascarpone ; 2 tsp vanilla; ¼ tsp salt; 2 cups cooled strong coffee/espresso ; ½ cup Kahlúa ; 24 ladyfingers ; 2 tbsp cocoa powder
Directions:
1. Whisk yolks + ½ cup sugar over a double boiler for 8–10 minutes, until thick and 160°F. Cool.
2. Beat in mascarpone, vanilla and salt until smooth.
3. Whip egg whites, gradually adding remaining ¼ cup sugar, until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into mascarpone mixture.
4. Mix cooled coffee + Kahlúa. Quickly dip ladyfingers 1 second per side.
5. Layer half the ladyfingers in a 9×13 dish, spread with half the cream, then repeat.
6. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
7. Dust with cocoa and shaved chocolate before serving.
