Chocolate Hazelnut Cookie Tiramisu Cups
Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
- 4 ramekins (8 oz each)
- KitchenAid Stand Mixer or Electric Hand Mixer
Ingredients
- About half 14 oz. package (or ~24 cookies) Ladyfinger cookies ~24 cookies
- About 14 Pan di Stelle cookies, plus 4 for decorating
- 500 grams mascarpone
- 2 cups freshly brewed espresso
- 4 large eggs, pasteurized follow easy pasteurization instructions within blog post
- 120 grams white sugar
- Cacao powder for sprinkling on top of the ramekins
Instructions
- Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks – make sure no egg yolk gets in the whites!
- Place egg whites in a large bowl.
- Add half of the sugar to the egg yolks and beat with the electric whisk until you achieve a pale yellowish color.
- Whisk the mascarpone into the egg yolk mixture little by little until it’s all incorporated. Set aside and clean the whisk attachment (important for the next step!)
- In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk the egg whites and add the remaining sugar little by little until you achieve stiff peaks.
- With a spatula, add the egg white mixture to the egg yolk mixture bit by bit, making sure all of the egg whites are incorporated into the yolks.
- Cover the bottom of your ramekins with the egg and cream mixture.
- Dip ladyfingers in the espresso and arrange them in your ramekins so you create one layer of cookies – see note above about the consistency you should aim for when dipping the ladyfinger cookies!
- Create another layer of egg and cream mixture, making sure you completely cover the ladyfingers from the previous layer.
- Dip the Pan di Stelle cookies in espresso and arrange them to create another layer above the egg and cream mixture.
- Alternate between the egg and cream mixture layers and the ladyfinger layers until you reach the top, making sure you finish off with an egg and cream mixture layer.
- Sprinkle cocoa powder on the last layer of egg and cream mixture.
- Chill in the fridge for 2-4 hours, or overnight if possible.
- Enjoy right out of the fridge and accompany with your favorite espresso!
