Description
Silky vanilla tiramisu roll offers a delightful twist on classic Italian desserts. Cool layers of creamy mascarpone and delicate ladyfingers create an elegant treat for sweet-seeking souls.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 ladyfingers (savoiardi)
- 8 oz (225 g) mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, whipped
- 1 cup (240 ml) brewed coffee, cooled
- ¼ cup (60 ml) coffee liqueur
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp almond extract
- 2 tbsps cocoa powder, for dusting
- Shaved white chocolate
Instructions
- Mascarpone Fusion: Whisk mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract until velvety. Gently fold in whipped heavy cream to create a cloud-like, decadent filling with silky smooth consistency.
- Coffee Immersion: Combine brewed coffee and coffee liqueur in a shallow dish. Briefly dip each ladyfinger, allowing quick absorption without waterlogging, creating a perfectly moistened base.
- Layer and Roll: Spread plastic wrap and arrange coffee-dipped ladyfingers in a slightly overlapping rectangular pattern. Generously coat with mascarpone mixture, leaving a small border. Using the wrap as a guide, roll from the shorter edge into a tight cylinder, ensuring even distribution of filling.
- Chill and Set: Envelop the roll completely in plastic wrap, securing the shape. Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing flavors to harmonize and texture to stabilize into a cohesive dessert.
- Finishing Touches: Unwrap the chilled roll with care. Dust generously with cocoa powder and optionally garnish with delicate white chocolate shavings. Slice into sophisticated portions and serve directly from the refrigerator for optimal texture and taste.
Notes
- Control Coffee Soaking: Dip ladyfingers quickly and lightly to prevent soggy texture; aim for gentle moisture absorption without complete saturation.
- Manage Cream Consistency: Whip heavy cream to soft peaks for optimal volume and fold gently into mascarpone mixture to maintain airy, smooth filling without deflating.
- Secure Rolling Technique: Use plastic wrap as a tight rolling guide, applying gentle, even pressure to create compact cylindrical shape without squeezing out filling.
- Chill for Flavor Development: Refrigerate roll for minimum 4 hours, allowing ingredients to meld and firm up; overnight chilling enhances deeper taste profile and smoother texture.
