Tiramisu - James Hoffman

Serving size: 6

Ingredients

  • 24 Savoiardi biscuits
  • 112 Grams Coffee
  • 500 Grams Mascarpone
  • 6 Egg yolk
  • 100 Grams Sugar

Instructions

    1

    Brew 6 double shots of espresso.

    2

    You need 375g of coffee liquid total. This will be split into two equal portions of 187.5g for each layer. Allow to cool completely before using.

    3

    Add all egg yolks to a ziplock bag and cook, using a sous vide circulator, at 60C for 30 minutes then cool completely.

    4

    Mix the sugar and egg yolk using a hand mixer, or stand mixer, at a relatively low speed for 4 to 5 minutes. You should see the mixture increase in volume and begin to notably thicken.

    5

    Add the mascarpone in thirds, each time incorporating on lower speeds for 30 to 60 seconds. It doesn't need to be flawlessly mixed.

    6

    Pour 187.5g of the coffee mixture in a suitable bowl. Take half the Savoiardi. Dunk the Savoiardi only on the non-sugared side. Then turn upside down and place in the tray. Repeat with all biscuits. You should have a little coffee left over. Starting with the last biscuits you dunked, use a pastry brush to add all the remaining coffee to the biscuits in the layer.

    7

    Carefully put half of the mascarpone mixture on top of the biscuits.

    8

    Add the remaining 187.5g of coffee to the bowl. Repeat the dunking of the remaining biscuits.

    9

    Add the remaining mascarpone cream.

    Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, ideally 24. Before serving dust with cocoa powder.
