Cyril Lignac's Red Fruit Tiramisu Recipe
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients for Cyril Lignac's red fruit tiramisu:
- 21 spoon cookies
- 250g fresh raspberries, washed
- 125g fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and cut into brunoise
- 1 tbsp. icing sugar
- 1 lime
- 4 espressos
- 3 organic egg yolks
- 100g caster sugar
- 150g mascarpone
- 35cl very cold 35% fat single cream
Step-by-step preparation:
- Dip half of the spoon cookies in the coffee and arrange them in ramekins. Top with half of the chopped strawberries.
- Prepare the mascarpone cream: In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar using a hand mixer until thick and ribbon-like. Add the mascarpone, continue beating, and mix until smooth and airy.
- In a separate very cold bowl, whip the cold single cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold it into the mascarpone cream with a spatula.
- Spoon half the cream over the fruit layer. Add another layer of coffee-soaked biscuits, the remaining strawberries, and top with the rest of the cream. Finish with raspberries on top, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours, uncovered.
- Before serving, dust with icing sugar and grate lime zest over the top.
