Equipment
- Frying Pan
- Whisk
- Large Pot
- Chef's Knife
- Wooden Spoon
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sugar
- ¾ cup Water
- ¼ cup Grand Marnier
Instructions
- Make the Grand Marnier syrup by combining sugar and water in a saucepan and heating, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Add Grand Marnier and cool to room temperature.
- Heat egg yolks and ¾ cup sugar in a double boiler, whisking constantly until thick and doubled in volume. Remove from heat and continue whisking for a minute or so. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream, mascarpone, and vanilla till thick and smooth. Add the yolks and fold together till well combined. Set aside.
- Separate ladyfingers and dip, one at a time, into the syrup and lay on the bottom of a medium-sized baking dish. Layer with half the custard, then arrange about ¾ of the strawberry slices over the custard.
- Repeat with a second layer of soaked ladyfingers, then top with the remaining custard. Garnish with remaining strawberries or reserve to top individual servings. Chill for 2 hours before serving.
- Scoop out spoonfuls of tiramisu to serve (I tried slicing, but it was quite a challenge!).
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It’s best enjoyed within 2 to 3 days for optimal freshness.
