A classic Italian dessert made with layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and a rich mascarpone mixture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large egg yolks
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup horchata
- 1 pound espresso mascarpone
- 1 ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon (divided)
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne
- ½ cup strong brewed coffee (room temperature)
- ¼ cup Kahlua
- 7 ounces ladyfinger cookies
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Instructions
- Beat egg yolks with granulated sugar for about 1 minute or until well combined.
- Heat horchata in a medium saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Slowly add the horchata to the egg yolks, whisking constantly.
- Pour the mixture back into the pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Continue to simmer for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and cool completely.
- Add espresso mascarpone to the egg yolk mixture, whisking until smooth.
- Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon, and cayenne. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the tiramisu. Combine coffee with Kahlua and dip the ladyfingers in the coffee mixture.
- Arrange half of the ladyfingers in the bottom of a 7×11 inch baking dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers followed by half of the spiced whipped cream. Repeat the layers.
- Cover the tiramisu and let chill for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
- Combine cocoa powder with remaining ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Dust the top of the tiramisu with the spiced cocoa powder.
- Serve.
