Ingredients

Soaking

  • 1 Cup Espresso, or coffee (240ml)
  • 1/4 Cup Sugar (50g)

Filling

  • 5 Large Egg yolks at room temperature
  • Zest from one orange
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar (100g)
  • 1 Recipe Orange Curd
  • 2 Cups Mascarpone cheese, cold. (450g)
  • 1 Cup Heavy Cream, cold. (240ml)
  • 1/2 Cup Chopped chocolate (85g)

Assembling

  • 24 Ladyfingers
  • 1 Cup Heavy cream (240ml)
  • 2 Tablespoons Powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Mix the coffee and the sugar and set aside to cool to room temperature.

Make the filling

  • Place the egg yolks, sugar, and orange zest in a medium bowl and set over a double boiler.
  • Constantly stir until the sugar has mostly dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir for about 3 minutes to cool the mixture.
  • Mix in 1/2 cup of orange curd. Set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer or a stand mixer, mix the mascarpone cheese until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Pour the heavy cream into the cheese and whip until medium peaks form. Do not over-mix, or else the cheese will curdle.
  • Fold the yolk mixture into the cheese mixture until smooth.

Assembling

  • Pour the coffee into a shallow-rimmed bowl and dip the bottom of each cookie into the coffee.
  • Line the cookies in a single layer over an eight-inch baking dish.
  • Top with half of the filling and spread over the cookies.
  • Sprinkle the chopped chocolate.
  • Repeat this with the rest of the cookies and filling creating a second layer.
  • Spread half a cup of orange curd over the filling and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight.
  • Before serving, whip the heavy cream with the sugar until stiff peaks form.
  • Use a pastry bag to pipe the cream over the Tiramisu, and dust with cocoa powder or shaved chocolate.

Notes

  • Use individual dishes for impressive individual desserts.
  • Store it in the refrigerator for up to three days, and consider the expiration of the orange curd.
  • Add 1-2 tablespoons of orange liqueur (Grand Marnier) to the coffee for a spiked tiramisu.
