Dabble has got to be one of the coolest ideas I’ve ever heard of. Basically, you pay a reasonable amount of money for a couple of hours filled with something you enjoy. Learn something new, try new activities, meet new people; it is just a fantastic idea.
I attended my first class today: Make Tiramisu and learn (a little) Italian. It was a balance between learning about the Italian culture, basic Italian vocabulary, and the steps to making tiramisu. I’ve learned enough to make a couple separate posts in the near future, but today, let’s talk about tiramisu.
Did you know it is so easy to make? No baking, easy ingredients, and perfect for dinner parties because it should be made ahead of time. I would make some slight changes to the recipe because of my own preferences, but otherwise, this is a great foundation for making tiramisu.
Ingredienti:
3 Large Eggs (yolks and whites separated)
1/2 Cup Sugar
8 oz Mascarpone
Package of Ladyfingers
1 Cup Espresso
1/8 Cup Cocoa
Combine egg yolks and sugar into a mixing bowl. Be sure to beat until sugar is absorbed. Add mascarpone. Fold into mixture. In a separate bowl, combine egg whites with a pinch of sugar. Whisk until peaks form. Gently fold this into mascarpone mixture.
Pour espresso in flat dish so ladyfingers can be dipped in it easily. Douse the ladyfingers with espresso and place in serving dish. Spread 1/3 of mascarpone mixture onto layer of ladyfingers, then sprinkle with cocoa. Continue until you are out of ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture. Do not sprinkle cocoa on last layer of mascarpone mixture. Refridgerate for an hour, then add cocoa on top. Be creative by cutting designs into paper and sprinkling cocoa powder over the design.
My Revised Ricetta (Recipe):
Add liquor to espresso mixture (marsala wine, dark rum, amaretto, coffee flavored liqueur)
