Dulce De Leche Tiramisu Recipe

Ingredients:

 

• 6 egg yolks
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN with HERBED CRUMB TOPPING Recipe Note: There are several ways to make an herb rub/marinade stay on pork tenderloin when cooking.
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons dulce de leche (I buy canned in the Mainstream)
• A pinch of salt to taste
• 2(4.4-ounce) boxes of soft ladyfingers (St Michel taste best — they have a crunchy sugar topping )
• strong brewed coffe or espresso - 2 cups (decaf is ok, but it needs to be rich and dark!)
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• Shaving a topping; chocolate bar

Directions:

 

1. Whisk some of the hot cream sauce into the eggs to temper, then add warm egg yolk/cream mixture back to pan., whisking; cook 2 more minutes. It should run off the beaters like liquid. Stir in the mascarpone and beat until smooth with no lumps.
2. Meanwhile, in second bowl add the heavy cream and whip on high for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a whipped cream. Add a pinch of salt and mix in the dulce de leche.
3. With a spatula, gently combine egg and mascarpone with the whipped cream (Warning: This will be sickly delicious!)
4. Take out an 11×7 pan ( any size works, even a 9×13). Place a fine mesh strainer and dust the bottom with cocoa powder to prevent dessert from becoming too liquid.
5. Quickly dip the ladyfingers in and out of the espresso, turning once to coat (I do a three-flip count per finger). Don't let them soak too long or they will fall apart! Place the ladyfingers on bottom of pan.
6. Spoon half of the creamy mixture over the ladyfingers followed by another layer of ladyfingers. Mound with remaining creamy mix. Dust with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings before finalizing.
7. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Refrigerate for 4+ hours, but preferably let it set for 12-24hours!
8. Cut & Serve straight from the fridge when ready. Sprinkle of extra cocoa powder|| sprinkling or grating of dark chocolate Enjoy!

FAQs

 

1. Can I just buy whipped cream at the store instead ? Sure, if you wish — but home-made whipped cream taste fresher
2. How to tell when your Tiramisu is ready? It will be chilled and set when it is done. It actually the longer it chills, like anything it gets better and bolder.
