Hello tiramisu lovers, after more than one month, here we go with another creation from the tiramisu fairy (ok I’m bragging a little here, but this is what my little nephew called me once, and kids always tell the truth, right?).
This time I will entertain your food fantasies with a mascarpone dessert.
Although I created a new category of mascarpone recipes for this post, in reality it’s a tiramisu in disguise, just a little quicker because you will skip the layer building phase.
Also, it adds pomegranate seeds, which are a pain in the neck to get out of the fruit, but the will give a very sophisticated touch to this mascarpone recipes dessert.
250gr mascarpone
100gr pomegranate seeds
125gr sugar
4 eggs
50ml marsala
12 savoiardi biscuits
1 cup of lukewarm coffee, sweetened
Add the yolks and the sugar to a casserole, and beat them until you have a pale and fluffy cream. Put the casserole on a low heat and – stirring continuously – gently cook until it thickens, then add the liqueur and stir some more. Take off the stove and let it cool then add the mascarpone, one tbsp at the time and mix well.
Once it’s all incorporated, cover with cling film and let it rest while you go on with the second part of the recipe. Take six dessert cups and try to figure out how one savoiardi will fit in the bottom. Break them in two if necessary, you will need to place two biscuits in each cup. Quickly dip the savoiardi in the coffee, they will have to be damp but not too limp, then pour the mascarpone cream on top until all the cups are full. Put the cups in the fridge for a couple of hours and decorate with the pomegranate seeds right before serving this quick-but-delicious dessert mascarpone.
