Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare the Coffee-Marsala Soak in a shallow bowl, combine the brewed coffee and Marsala wine. Stir until the cocoa powder is fully dissolved and set aside to cool.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over beat.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar together using an electric mixer or hand whisk until the mixture becomes very pale, fluffy, and thick (about 5 minutes).
- Add the mascarpone cheese to the yolk mixture and whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Now fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture in two batches. Use a spatula and fold carefully to maintain the airy texture. Set aside.
- Assemble the Tiramisu, slice the panettone into chunky strips.
- Quickly dip each slice of panettone into the coffee-Marsala mixture, making sure they’re soaked on both sides, but not soggy. Place a layer of soaked panettone strips at the bottom of a serving dish (a trifle dish or individual glasses work well). Add a grated dark chocolate to this layer.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the first layer of panettone.
- Add another layer of soaked panettone strips on top of the mascarpone mixture and some grated dark chocolate, then spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over the second layer.
- Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the flavours to meld and the dessert to set.
- Before serving, dust with cocoa powder for a classic look.
- Enjoy! Serve this indulgent panettone tiramisu chilled, and enjoy the beautiful combination of coffee-soaked panettone, creamy mascarpone, and a touch of Marsala. It’s an irresistible twist on the traditional tiramisu, perfect for the holidays or any special occasion!
