Irish Cream Tiramisu

Over the holidays, Kerrygold was nice enough to send me some of their delicious Irish Cream to try. I’m not a big dessert person and I wouldn’t call myself the best baker… so I was having trouble incorporating it into a recipe! Thankfully, lots of brainstorming and a few glasses on the rocks brought me to this idea…
My mom is Italian and my Dad is Irish… so all of a sudden I thought, what if I make a tiramisu? I did a little googling to make sure I wasn’t crazy, and when I saw that Nigella Lawson agreed with me, I was good to go. The result is very similar to a traditional tiramisu, with a little extra boozy kick. I love the flavor of Irish Cream, so that was more than fine with me!

Check out those layers!

This also freezes well if you have leftovers. I let some friends make a dent, but I’ve been trying not to go into my freezer too often for the rest of it…

I also made sure I posted this before Valentine’s Day, because I’m pretty sure your significant other would love you even more if you made this for them. Right?! Right.
Seriously, don’t you want a bite?! Go ahead, you deserve it.

Irish Cream Tiramisu

Ingredients

  • 10 tsp instant coffee
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 1/4 cup Kerrygold Irish Cream
  • 14 oz (or about 50) ladyfingers/savoiardi cookies
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 lb mascarpone cheese
  • 2 1/2 tsp unsweetened cocoa

Instructions

  1. Start by dissolving the instant coffee into 1 1/2 cups of hot water. Let it cool, then add 3/4 cup of irish cream.
  2. In a separate bowl, add just the yolks of two large eggs. Keep one of the whites - don't throw it away! Whisk the yolks and sugar together.
  3. When it's all incorporated and thick, fold in the mascarpone and a 1/2 cup of irish cream. Whisk the single egg white until it's frothy and fold that in, too.
  4. Dip the cookies into the coffee/irish cream mixture. If you get them too wet, they'll fall apart - so they only need a quick dip on each side.
  5. Add them to a 3qt pyrex (mine was 9x13).
  6. And then another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the rest of the cream.
  7. Sprinkle unsweetened cocoa powder on top, cover, and let it set in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Although, if you are making this for a party, make it the day before and let it sit overnight!
