INGREDIENTS for 8 servings
For the Tiramisù:
600g custard to prepare
300g whipping cream
300g mascarpone
75g granulated sugar
Few drops of Rum or Marsala
400g ladyfinger biscuits
½ l coffee
120g Nutella®
golden beads to decorate
For the custard:
500g fresh whole milk
8 egg yolks
120g granulated sugar
35g corn starch
a pinch of salt
1 vanilla pod
HOW TO MAKE TIRAMISU
For the custard:
Put an empty stainless-steel bowl into the freezer (you will use this later to cool down the custard.) Split the vanilla pod lengthwise with a knife and scrape out the seeds. In a pan, heat the milk with the vanilla seeds. Remove from the stove/hob just as the milk begins to simmer around the edge of the pan. In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks with the sugar, the starch, and the salt.
Add the hot milk to the mixture with the egg yolks in it in a steady stream, stirring constantly.
Heat the mixture again, stirring until it steams and thickens (about 2 minutes). Remove from stove or hob and let it cool down, placing the mixture into the stainless-steel bowl that was kept in the freezer and cover with a transparent film. Let this cool down to 4 or 5 degrees (it will take about 30 minutes).
For the Tiramisù:
In a bowl, whip the cream with mascarpone and sugar (pay attention to not whip too much). Flavour with a bit of Rum or Marsala. Gently combine the custard from step 1 with the mixture of mascarpone and cream.
Add the coffee to a smaller bowl, now you need to dip the ladyfinger biscuits into the coffee, so they soak the flavour.
Take 8 glasses and in each of them put some mascarpone cream, followed by a layer of biscuit and again another layer of cream. With the help of a piping bag, draw a Christmas tree with 15g of Nutella® and with a golden bead on top of the tree.
