BAILEYS TIRAMISU  

To make Baileys Tiramisu  you can use homemade ladyfingers, as I have done many times in the past. Today however, I used store bought Savoiardi Ladyfingers. Hard and crunchy cookies with a sugar topping.

There are no fresh egg in this Baileys Tiramisu.

I also prepared strong coffee using a French Press. Let the coffee cool to room temperature before dipping the cookies

IRISH CREAM FILLING

Filling is made with sweetened stabilized whipped cream, mascarpone cheese and spiked with a generous dose of Baileys Irish Cream.

Reserve about 1 cup of the filling.

TIRAMISU DESSERT LAYERS

  • I decided to make a molded Tiramisu using a loaf pan.
  • Line the loaf pan with food safe plastic wrap.
  • Pipe a layer of Baileys Cream Filling on the bottom of the loaf pan.
  • Layer fully coffee dipped cookies onto the cream filling. Repeat.
  • Firmly bang the loaf pan few times on your work surface. This helps to remove any bubbles and set the cookies and cream in the pan well.
  • Cover with a plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, along with the reserved 1 cup of the filling.

The very last layer is made using ladyfingers.

Rather than submerging the hole cookie into the coffee, only dip the ladyfingers halfway through. Keeping the unsoaked part of the cookie facing out as you arrange them on the cream.

DECORATE

Remove the plastic wrap cover. Place a serving dish on the top and flip the loaf pan over. Carefully unmold the dessert from the pan. If needed shake it gently to loosen it.

Peel of the plastic wrap. Smooth out the edges with a spatula.

Fit a piping bag with a round piping tip and fill it with a remaining 1 cup of the cream filling. Let it warm up on the counter for 10 if it appears too stiff.

Then pipe small mounds onto the top of the tiramisu.

Finally, dust the top with a generous amount of dark cocoa powder.
