The Amateur Gourmet is one of my favorite food blogs. There's always something interesting there, and it's extremely well written. Where else can you find cool posts like How To Start A Food Blog, Janet Jackson Breast Cupcake, and Thursday Night Dinner Songs?
Today they have a nice step-by-step recipe for Easy Tiramisu. Like Adam, it's a dessert that I've only had in restaurants. But this makes me want to try it at home. Full recipe after the jump.
Easy Tiramisu
1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 pound mascarpone, 1/4 cup sugar, and 2 tablespoons amaretto or Cognac until smooth.
2. In a chilled bowl with chilled beaters, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold the cream into the mascarpone mixture.
3. Place 1 cup brewed espresso (at room temperature) in a pie dish.
4. Lightly dip 12 savoiardi (imported Italian ladyfingers) in the espresso and arrange them in a single layer in the bottom of an 8-inch square pan. Spread half the mascarpone mixture over the savoiardi. Sprinkle with chopped bittersweet chocolate.
5. Dip the remaining 12 savoiardi in the espresso. Top with the remaining mascarpone mixture, spreading it smooth. Sprinkle with more chopped bittersweet chocolate (1/4 cup). Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for several hours, or overnight, before serving.
