Craving a rich dessert? Tiramisu which means pick-me-up, for the espresso it contains looks very elegant made in individual wineglasses.
Ingredients
1 cup (250 mL) heavy cream
1/2 cup (125 mL) sugar
8 oz (225 g) mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup (60 mL) Marsala
1 to 11/2 cups (250 to 375 mL) strong coffee OR espresso
1/4 cup (60 mL) brandy OR Frangelico liqueur
18 store-bought ladyfingers
2 oz (60 g) good-quality bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped OR shaved
Good-quality unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Directions
Place 6 large wineglasses in the freezer or refrigerator to chill.
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Add the sugar and whip 10 to 15 seconds longer, just until sugar is thoroughly integrated.
In a separate large bowl, whisk the mascarpone and Marsala together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold a third of the whipped cream into the mascarpone, to lighten. Fold in the remaining whipped cream to combine.
Remove the wineglasses from the freezer or refrigerator. Stir the coffee and brandy together in a small bowl. One at a time, dip the ladyfingers into the coffee-brandy mixture twice, taking care not to leave them in more than 5 seconds or they may fall apart. Place one ladyfinger into each wineglass, pressing down so it fits snugly into the bottom of the glass. You may need to break it in half to make it fit.
Spoon a third of the mascarpone-cream mixture over the ladyfingers, then sprinkle with a third of the chocolate. Top with another layer of soaked ladyfingers, and repeat layering two more times, ending with a layer of cream. Dust lightly with cocoa powder passed through a fine sieve. Cover each glass with plastic wrap and chill for at least 3 hours or overnight.
