Method

  1. To make the Christmas Torrone Tiramisu, start with the cream: beat the egg yolks with the sugar and, when they are pale and fluffy, add the mascarpone as well. Beat with an electric mixer until the ingredients are combined.
  2. Separately, whip the egg whites to stiff peaks and fold them into the cream, moving from top to bottom so the mixture doesn’t deflate. Then use a meat mallet to break the crunchy torrone into small pieces.
  3. You’re ready to assemble the dessert in the baking dish: make a first layer of ladyfingers soaked in the coffee, then spread half of the mascarpone cream in an even layer, dust with unsweetened cocoa and add half of the torrone pieces. Repeat for the second layer.

Variations and Alternatives

If the flavor of espresso is too strong for you, you can dilute it with some water to make it lighter. On the other hand, if this Christmas Torrone Tiramisu won’t be eaten by children, you can stretch the coffee with half a shot glass of liqueur of your choice.

Tips

To make the Christmas Torrone Tiramisu, use very fresh eggs, or, to be safe, Pasteurize Them. Don’t worry if breaking up the torrone gives you some larger pieces and others very small or crumbled: as it rests in the fridge the torrone will soften and become one with the mascarpone cream, for an indulgent, irresistible result!

Storage

Christmas Torrone Tiramisu keeps in the fridge, well covered with plastic wrap, for up to 2-3 days.
