Special Equipment
How-to
- Beat eggs and sugar on high speed in stand mixer with whisk attachment or with hand mixer until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes
- Add the mascarpone and beat again until fluffy, 4-5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix together amaretto, Kahlua and coffee.
- Begin to build the tiramisu in the springform pan by spreading about ¼ of the mascarpone mixture on the bottom
- Follow by dipping each ladyfinger quickly into the coffee mixture (don't hold in too long - they disintegrate quickly!), then laying one flat layer atop mascarpone layer. Be sure to use partial ladyfingers to fill in all the gaps
- Repeat mascarpone layer, then ladyfinger layer two more times. Alternate direction of the ladyfingers every other layer. Finish with a final layer of mascarpone
- Stir together cocoa powder and confectioners sugar. Sift over the top
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight before serving. This will help layers to solidify
- Run knife along edge of pan before releasing spring, and removing outer ring
- Slice into 12 pieces. For plating, sprinkle with confectioners sugar and serve with fresh raspberries, creme anglaise, raspberry sauce and/or chocolate sauce
