Tiramisu macarons
Like so many of my desserts this one was also inspired by my husband. Tiramisu is his favorite dessert and I wanted to make it for him in a different way. I immediately thought of making a macaron but with a tiramisu flavored filling. At that time I was a little obsessed with making macarons and I baked them every chance I had and this was the perfect excuse for me to bake some more. The macarons turned out so good that the whole bunch was eaten in three days and my husband begged me to make some more.
Tiramisu is a popular coffee flavored Italian dessert. It is made of lady finger cookies soaked in freshly brewed coffee, layered with a mixture of eggs, sugar and mascarpone cheese. The dessert is then topped with a heavy dusting of cocoa powder.
The tiramisu filling for this macarons is really simple to make, all you need is good quality mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar and coffee. For even more flavor you can add coffee liqueur, chocolate shavings or some other ingredients that you associate with a good tiramisu.
The preparation of the shells is the same as in the basic recipe. After you are done with the piping of macarons put the cocoa powder in a small strainer and dust the shells evenly. Let them dry out for 30 minutes or until they are not sticky to the touch.
Making the filling:
Mix together mascarpone cheese, coffee and sugar. Mix gently and slow so that the mixture doesn't become grainy. Taste the mixture and add coffee or sugar to taste.
Assembly:
Pair the same sized shells together. Pipe the tiramisu mixture on the flat side of half the macaron shells, then top with the remaining shells. Put the macarons in the fridge to set. Let the macarons rest in the fridge for 24 hours to ensure the best texture of the macarons. When you are ready to serve them, take them out of the fridge 20 minutes before serving.
