Pistachio Tiramisu Treat (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Coffee mix for dipping
01 -
1 tablespoon rum (optional)
02 -
1 cup coffee brewed strong
03 -
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
04 -
1 package lady fingers (about 7 ounces, found in the cookie section)
→ Mascarpone pistachio filling
05 -
4 eggs, large (separate yolks and whites)
06 -
2/3 cup white sugar, split
07 -
16 ounces mascarpone, straight from the fridge
08 -
1/3 cup pistachio spread
09 -
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
10 -
1 teaspoon vanilla
11 -
1/3 cup finely chopped pistachios
# Instructions:
01 -
Get a shallow bowl and pour in the brewed coffee. Stir in the almond extract along with the rum, if you like. Set it to the side.
02 -
Put egg whites in the bowl for your stand mixer, using the whisk attachment. Slowly drizzle in 1/3 cup of sugar while beating on high. It should take about 3 minutes to get stiff peaks. Pour the whipped whites into a big bowl and scrape the bowl out clean with a rubber spatula.
03 -
Drop the egg yolks and the rest of the sugar (1/3 cup) into your mixer bowl. Whisk them on high for around 3 minutes until they turn light and fluffy. Mix in the mascarpone next, followed by the pistachio spread, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Blend it until smooth.
04 -
Take half the mascarpone mixture and gently fold it into the egg whites with a spatula. Once it's mostly mixed, add the rest of the mascarpone mixture and gently fold again. Be careful not to stir too hard or lose the fluffiness.
05 -
Quickly dip both sides of the lady fingers in the coffee mixture. Lay a single layer of them snugly in a 9x9-inch pan. Spread half the mascarpone cream on top of this layer. Repeat with another layer of dipped lady fingers and finish by smoothing the remaining mascarpone cream on top.
06 -
Sprinkle the finely chopped pistachios on the surface. Let it sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before you dig in!
# Notes:
01 -
This dessert has a nutty kick thanks to pistachio paste and pistachios.
02 -
Don't let the lady fingers soak in the coffee too long or they will turn mushy.
03 -
Waiting overnight will really enhance the flavors, so try to be patient.
