Ladyfinger Layer:
- Arrange half of the ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. 🍰
- Mix hot water with coffee granules and 2 tablespoons brandy. Gently pour half of this mixture over the ladyfingers. Set aside. ☕
-
Zabaglione Magic:
- Create a zabaglione by beating the egg yolks and sugar in the top of a double boiler until ivory-colored. 🍳
- Add 1/4 cup brandy and whisk over simmering water until the mixture thickens (about 8-10 minutes). Let it cool a bit, stirring constantly. 🚀
-
Mascarpone Symphony:
- Carefully mix the zabaglione with mascarpone cheese. The mixture may seem liquid – that’s perfectly fine! 🎻
- Whip the egg whites until very stiff and fold them into the zabaglione/mascarpone mixture. 🥄
-
Layering Extravaganza:
- Pour half of the zabaglione mixture over the ladyfingers, which have been soaking up the coffee/brandy mixture. 🎨
- Top with half of the whipped cream, and sprinkle with half of the cocoa powder and grated chocolate. Place the remaining ladyfingers on top to create a second layer. 🍬
-
Repeat and Revel:
- Pour the remaining coffee mixture carefully over the second layer of ladyfingers. 🌊
- Repeat the layers – zabaglione, whipped cream, cocoa powder, and grated chocolate. Cover the masterpiece with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set. For the ultimate experience, let it rest overnight. 🌙
-
Finishing Touch:
- When ready to serve, unleash your creativity. Decorate with piped-on whipped cream around the edges and add more chocolate and/or cocoa powder if desired. 🎉
Pro Tips:
- Substitute Marsala wine for the brandy if you fancy a twist of flavor. 🍇
- Allow the Tiramisu IV to work its magic overnight for the best results. Patience pays off! ⏳
