Lemon Curd Tiramisu And Specullos Russian Cigarettes Cookies
- 7/8 cup granulated sugar
- 5 eggs plus 3 egg yolks
- 2 lemons juice
- 4 15/16 tablespoons butter diced
- 1 15/16 cups mascarpone
- 1 1/3 cups speculoos Cigarettes Russes, store-bought
- Pour the 80 grams of sugar, 2 eggs, 3 egg yolks, and the juice of 2 lemons into a saucepan. Mix and bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Upon first boil, add the butter all at once and mix quickly. Set aside.
- If you end up with any pieces of cooked egg whites you can pass your curd through a sieve to make it smooth. Allow your lemon curd to cool before putting it in a pastry bag.
- Split the whites from the yolks for the remaining 3 eggs into two bowls.
- Beat the yolks with 100 grams of granulated sugar until the mixture whitens. Add the mascarpone and mix.
- Whisk the egg whites until firm peaks form and fold gently with a spatula into the mascarpone/ egg/sugar mixture.
- Put a layer of mascarpone cream in a clear bowl.
- Using the pastry bag, drop a thin layer of lemon curd (it is important to wait until the curd is cold to use it, otherwise, it would melt the cream).
- Cover with a layer of Russian cigarettes from which you had cut the ends with a saw-edgeg knife (for a more even finish).
- Repeat all 3 layers for a second time and finish with the mascarpone cream.
- As pictured in the photo, you can put small amounts of lemon curd to decorate your tiramisu. Cover your dish with a plastic film and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours.
