Tiramisu Pie
- 1 prebaked 9-inch Traditional Pastry Piecrust shell (page 6)
- 3 cups brewed strong coffee or espresso
- 10 large egg yolks
- 10 tablespoons sugar
- 1 pound mascarpone cheese
- Kahlua to taste
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 24 ladyfingers
- cups Whipped Cream (page 193)
- Cocoa powder
- To prepare the filling, pour the brewed coffee into a bowl or baking dish, allowing it to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment on high speed, beat together the egg yolks and sugar until they are smooth, frothy, and pale in color.
- Add the mascarpone and mix for approximately 1 minute.
- Finally, add the Kahlua to taste and mix some more, until all the ingredients are blended together smoothly.
- In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until its stiff.
- Using a spatula, fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until everything is blended.
- To assemble the pie, layer the bottom of the pie shell with one-third of the cream mixture.
- Quickly dip each of the ladyfingers into the coffee (be careful not to oversoak the ladyfingers to the point of saturation).
- Arrange 12 of the ladyfingers over the cream mixture.
- Spread another one-third of the cream mixture over the placed ladyfingers.
- Dip the remaining 12 ladyfingers into the coffee and arrange them over the cream mixture.
- Spread the remaining one-third of the cream mixture over the final ladyfinger layer, smoothing out the top of the pie.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 6 hours before serving.
- Using a pastry bag, distribute the whipped cream decoratively across the top of the pie.
- If you choose, use an offset spatula to create a more finished look.
- Sprinkle the whipped cream with a dusting of cocoa powder, and perhaps a few coffee beans.
- Tiramisu Pie should be served cold.
- It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
