Nouvelle Tiramisù

Ingredients

In this Nouvelle cuisine version of Tiramisù, we elevate the presentation and refine the flavors. The traditional heavy cream is replaced with a lighter mascarpone cream, allowing the delicate flavors to shine through. The ladyfingers are soaked in a carefully selected espresso blend, adding a subtle complexity to the dessert. Finally, a touch of modern flair is added with a garnish of edible flowers or a dusting of cocoa powder artfully arranged on top.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Mascarpone cheese — Make sure to use high-quality mascarpone for a creamy and luxurious texture.
• Ladyfingers — Choose soft and sponge-like ladyfingers to absorb the espresso without becoming too soggy.
• Espresso — Opt for a strong and flavorful espresso to enhance the taste of the dessert.
• Coffee liqueur — For an extra layer of complexity, add a splash of coffee liqueur to the espresso mixture.
• Edible flowers — Select edible flowers that complement the flavors and add a visually stunning element to the dish.

Tips & Tricks

• For a lighter version, you can substitute part of the mascarpone cheese with whipped cream.
• Experiment with different espresso blends to find your preferred flavor profile.
• If you prefer a stronger coffee taste, increase the amount of coffee liqueur in the espresso mixture.
• To make individual servings, assemble the Tiramisù in glasses or ramekins for an elegant presentation.
• Allow the Tiramisù to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.

Serving advice

Serve the Nouvelle Tiramisù chilled, allowing the layers to meld together for a harmonious taste experience. For an added touch of elegance, dust the serving plates with cocoa powder before placing the individual portions. Accompany each serving with a small spoon to savor every layer of this delectable dessert.

Presentation advice

Create a visually stunning presentation by garnishing the top of the Tiramisù with edible flowers, such as pansies or violets. Alternatively, dust the top with a fine layer of cocoa powder using a stencil to create an intricate design. Serve the dessert in a glass dish or individual glassware to showcase the beautiful layers.
