Pistachio Tiramisu Delight (Printer-Friendly Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Coffee Drenched Lady Fingers
01 -
1 cup of super strong coffee, freshly brewed
02 -
1/4 teaspoon almond flavoring
03 -
1 tablespoon of rum (if you like)
04 -
1 pack of lady fingers (7 ounces), grab these from the cookie section
→ Pistachio Mascarpone Filling
05 -
4 large eggs, split into yolks and whites
06 -
2/3 cup white sugar, divided up
07 -
16 ounces mascarpone cheese, kept chilled
08 -
1/3 cup smooth pistachio spread
09 -
1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring
10 -
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
11 -
1/3 cup pistachios, finely chopped into bits
# Method:
01 -
Make a pot of coffee and pour 1 cup into a wide shallow container. Stir in the rum (if using) and almond flavoring, then set it aside.
02 -
Separate the yolks from the whites, placing the yolks into one small bowl and the whites in the stand mixer for whisking later.
03 -
Whisk the whites on high speed in the mixer, slowly adding 1/3 cup of the sugar. Keep whipping until soft peaks form—it'll take about 3 minutes. Scoop this mix into a big bowl.
04 -
In the stand mixer bowl, whip the yolks and the remaining 1/3 cup sugar. Do this on high speed until it looks fluffy and light yellow. Mix in the chilled mascarpone cheese next.
05 -
Add pistachio cream, vanilla flavoring, and almond flavoring into the yolk mixture and stir until everything is smoothly blended.
06 -
Carefully fold half of your yolk-pistachio mix into the whipped whites using a spatula. Add the rest and gently mix until everything's just combined, without deflating those whites.
07 -
Quickly dunk the lady fingers into the coffee liquid—flip them to coat both sides—and arrange them as a single layer in a 9x9-inch dish. Cover them evenly with half the mascarpone mixture.
08 -
Repeat with the rest of the lady fingers and mascarpone mix. Finish by sprinkling the top with finely chopped pistachios for that extra crunch.
09 -
Cover your dessert and let it chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or even overnight, before you serve it up.
