(Can be made as an individual dessert or in a large pan)
Amaretti cookies:
250 grams of blanched almond powder
250 grams of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon of cornstarch
4 egg whites
Vanilla puree
Coffee syrup:
4 long espresso shots
Amaretto liqueur
Zaviona:
4 egg yolks
100 grams of sugar
500 grams of mascarpone cheese
200 grams of sweet cream
Vanilla stick
30 grams of water
For decoration:
Cocoa powder
Chocolate ganache:
50 grams of sweet cream
50 grams of milk chocolate
30 grams of dark chocolate
A pinch of salt
Preheat oven to medium-low heat – 150-160 degrees.
In the mixer bowl, beat egg whites at high speed. When foam begins to form, gradually add half of the powdered sugar. Continue until you get a firm, glossy foam.
Mix the almond powder with the remaining half of the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and cornstarch and fold into the foam.
Transfer the mixture to a disposable piping bag with a 15-inch tip.
Pour onto the baking paper in a 10 cm finger pan and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Place in the oven for 18 minutes and when finished baking, remove the pan from the oven to cool.
Store in a tightly closed box at room temperature or in the freezer until ready to use.
Preparing the coffee syrup:
Mix espresso coffee with amaretto liqueur and transfer to a deep rectangular pan.
Preparing the chocolate cream:
Place both types of chocolate together with salt in a bowl.
Heat the sweet cream to the point of boiling and pour over the chocolate mixture. Mix until melted.
Preparing the zabiana:
In a heatproof bowl, mix the egg yolks and sugar over a bain-marie until the sugar dissolves. (Bain-marie – a pot with boiling water and the bowl on top so that the water in the pot does not touch in a bowl, but only the echoes). Transfer the mixture to a mixer bowl with a whisk and whip until foamy. In a separate bowl, whip the mascarpone and cream.
Combine the two creams with folding movements.
Assemble the tiramisu:
Dip amaretti cookies in coffee, shake lightly and place on a plate. Drizzle the safflower cream over the cookies, repeat the process: place another layer of amaretti cookies dipped in coffee, and drizzle another layer of the cream. Sift cocoa powder on top and pour over the chocolate ganache.
