Recipe Step by Step

01

COFFEE-FLAVORED VIENNESE BISCUIT

40g Egg yolks
105g Eggs
110g Sugar (85+25g)
65g Egg whites
50g All-purpose flour
5g Coffee powder

Whisk the yolks, eggs and 85g sugar in a stand mixer. Then, beat the egg whites with the remaining 25g of sugar until stiff. Mix the stiffened whites with the other mixture and finally add the sifted flour.
Weigh out 360g of the sponge mixture and spread it out on a 30 × 40cm baking sheet with a pastry spatula. Sprinkle the coffee powder over the top.
Bake the sponge in a fan-assisted oven at 445°F (230°C) for approx. 6-7 minutes.
02

COFFEE DULCEY 35% CRÉMEUX

225g Whole milk
45g Egg yolks
15g Sugar
45g Coffee beans
185g DULCEY 35% chocolate
2g Gelatin sheets

Heat the milk to a simmer on a medium heat. Add the coffee beans. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to infuse for 15 minutes. Strain and reserve the coffee-infused milk, then heat it again.Use a whisk to mix (but not beat) the egg yolks and sugar. Pour the coffee-infused milk into this mixture, stirring all the time.Decant into a saucepan on a low heat. Stir gently until the cream thickens slightly and sticks to the back of the spatula. Use a thermometer to check the temperature is at 180°F (82°C).
Once this coffee crème anglaise has reached this temperature, remove the saucepan from the heat and strain. Add the rehydrated gelatin.
Gradually combine with the melted DULCEY 35% until it has a smooth, glossy, elastic texture. Mix using an immersion blender to form a perfect emulsion and ensure a smooth crémeux. Cover the surface with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.

105g Whole milk
20g Acacia honey
85g IVOIRE 35% chocolate
100g Heavy cream 36%
195g Mascarpone

Heat the milk with the honey. Gradually combine with the melted IVOIRE 35% while stirring vigorously. Mix and add the cold cream and mascarpone. Mix again to form a perfect emulsion. Seal using plastic film and store ideally overnight in the refrigerator.

200g Espresso coffee
25g Sugar

Heat the coffee and mix the sugar in well. Leave to cool in the fridge.

Assembly and finishing

valrhona.com-recipe-tiramisu

Cut three 30×10cm strips of coffee-flavored Viennese biscuit.
Take a 30×10cm pan that is 5cm high. Place a strip of sponge in the pan and soak it in the coffee syrup. On top, pipe 120g of DULCEY 35% coffee crémeux and smooth it out. Freeze.
Beat 120g of the whipped ganache until it has a smooth texture that will pipe easily. Then, pipe it onto the first layer of DULCEY 35% coffee crémeux and smooth it out. Place a strip of sponge on top, soak it in syrup and put the pan in the freezer.
Repeat the above instructions.
Once frozen, turn out from the pan and cut into 3cm wide pieces.
Place the pieces on their sides (so that all the layers are visible) and cover the top with clear glaze for an extra shiny finish. Return to the freezer.
Coat the top and sides with the hazelnut DULCEY 35% glaze. Freeze for 30 minutes.
Finally, place it in the fridge to defrost the day before serving.
