Recipes Cookbook - EASY TIRAMISU MOUSSE

EASY TIRAMISU MOUSSE |#Goodhumorstrawberryshortcaketrifle #Dessertrecipes #Strawberryshortcakeoreotrifle #Tiramisutriflerecipe #Goodhumorstrawberryshortcakecake #Dessertsforparties #Frozensmores #Dessertrecipesvideos #Cookingrecipes #Smoresdessert #Cupcakecakes #Foodrecipes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee (I use the Starbucks Via packs)
  • 1/4 cup hot water
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold (see note)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (see note)
  • 8 ounces marscarpone cheese or Challenge cream cheese (low fat cream cheese is fine)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ounce semi-sweet baking chocolate

Instructions

  1. Place the instant coffee in the hot water and stir. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Beat heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Chill until ready to use. (Alternately: you can use an 8 ounce carton of whipped topping. See note.)
  3. Mix powdered sugar and marscarpone/cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth. Mix in vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of the coffee. Add up to the entire amount of coffee, depending on how strong you want your tiramisu. (I added all of it because that’s how I roll.) Mix in vanilla.
  4. Fold whipped cream into coffee mixture gently. Place the tiramisu in a gallon size ziploc bag that is fitted with a large round or 1M tip.
  5. Pipe a small amount the bottom of each of 4 serving glasses (my glasses were 6 ounce size). Top the layer with a dusting of cocoa powder. Continue layering the tiramisu and cocoa powder. Once you get to the top layer, grate the 1 ounce of semi-sweet baking chocolate over the tops of the serving dishes (instead of the dusting of cocoa powder). This gives a sweet first taste instead of being bitter from the unsweetened cocoa. Chill, covered, in the fridge until ready to serve.

  6. Boil pasta in salty water, drain, but do not rinse. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water. If you think the sauce needs thinning, add reserved pasta water to the sauce. Add it slow - as much as you would like to have according to your liking.
