Tiramisu is an easy Italian dessert made with coffee-soaked ladyfingers and a whipped, creamy filling. My version also includes a rich chocolate ganache layer before dusting with cocoa for garnish.
Tiramisu
Ganache layer
Prepare a 9-inch springform pan with a strip of acetate or parchment around the outside. I used a 4-inch wide acetate strip.
Beat mascarpone and ¼ cup of the heavy cream with a hand mixer until smooth. Add vanilla, brandy and salt. Beat until combined.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine remaining heavy cream with the brown sugar. Beat until medium peaks.
Add the mascarpone mixture to the whipped cream mixture and beat until combined.
Assemble
Quickly dip half of the ladyfingers into the coffee to create a single layer in the bottom of the pan. Top with half of the cream mixture. Dip the rest of the ladyfingers into the coffee and create another layer. Top with remaining cream mixture and smooth top.
Make the ganache
Melt chocolate and cream together over a bain-marie. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes. Pour over top of tiramisu.
Chill for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Just before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder.
