    Tiramisu Mascarpone Fondue


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    1 tsp. instant espresso powder (available at Italian food stores and supermarkets; or substitute 1 1/2 tsps. instant coffee powder)
    1 Tb. boiling water
    17 ounces mascarpone cheese
    1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
    2 Tbs. sweet (not dry) Marsala wine
    2 tsps. cornstarch
    3 large egg yolks, at room temperature
    Finely chopped bittersweet chocolate, for serving

    For dipping:
    Crisp Italian ladyfingers
    Large whole strawberries with stems attached
    Peaches cut in wedges

    Recipe



    In a small bowl, dissolve espresso powder in boiling water. In the top part of a double boiler over simmering water, combine the espresso liquid, mascarpone, confectioners' sugar, Marsala and cornstarch, mashing with a rubber spatula until the mascarpone has melted and the mixture is smooth.

    In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks to combine. Gradually whisk in about 1/2 cup of the warm mascarpone mixture (to temper the eggs). Whisk the egg yolk mixture into the mascarpone mixture. Whisking constantly, cook until the fondue is hot and thickened (an instant-read thermometer will read 180 degrees), about 2 minutes.

    Transfer to a ceramic fondue pot or chafing dish and keep warm over a burner. Place the chopped chocolate in small, individual bowls. Serve immediately, with the dipping ingredients of your choice, allowing guests to dip their fondue-covered food into the chocolate before
    eating.

    Makes 4-6 servings.
