Lyre’s Tiramisu
We only recommend things we love. If you buy something through our site, we might earn a commission.
Tiramisu is a dish that usually calls for a few tablespoons of some kind of liqueur to amp up the coffee flavor and cut some of the sweetness from the ladyfingers and cream. Shared with us by the team at Lyre's, a beverage company focused on making nonalcoholic spirits, this recipe uses its American Malt spirit and Coffee Orignale spirit to balance sweetness with notes of caramel and coffee all without adding alcohol content to the classic Italian dessert. Plus, by using non-alcoholic spirits you don't have to worry about cooking off any alcohol before serving to youngsters or those who don't drink.
How to Make It
1
Begin by combining the sugar with the black coffee whilst hot and stir to dissolve then add the Lyre's coffee liqueur and Lyre's American Malt Spirit. Place in a bowl and set aside. This will be the liquid used to soak the ladyfingers.
2
Place the mascarpone, cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar in a bowl and whisk until soft peaks form.
3
To assemble: Briefly dunk the ladyfingers one at a time in the coffee mixture and line the bottom of your baking dish with them. Be sure to cover the entire surface and if necessary, break some of the biscuits to fit in place.
4
Next spoon over the mascarpone mixture and smooth over the surface of the soaked biscuits.
5
Sift a layer of cocoa over the top of the mascarpone and repeat this process again so that you have 2 layers of soaked biscuit, mascarpone and cocoa.
6
Chill for at least 2 hours before serving to allow time for the tiramisu to set. Use a large spatula or spoon to serve.
