Limoncello Tira Mi Su
I was watching Lidia Bastianici to day on the local pbs and had to get
this recipe from her web site.
I have never made a Tira Mi Su before but i think im going to try this one.
Limoncello Tira Mi Su
Servings: 12
Description:
Ingredients: ¾ Pasteurized egg yolks
1 ½ cup pasteurized egg whites
1 cup sugar
zest of three lemons
1 ½ tsp. Lemon oil
35 ladyfingers
2 lb. Marscapone cheese
4 cups Limoncello liquor
2 cups simple syrup
Directions: Whip whites and ½ cup sugar until stiff peaks form
Mix yolks with remaining sugar, add marscapone cheese, lemon oil and
lemon zest. Mix well making sure that there are no lumps.
Fold in whites.
Combine the four cups of Limoncello liquor with the 2 cups of simple
syrup (this will be used to moisten the lady fingers)
After dipping the lady fingers in the mixture form one layer of lady
fingers at bottom spread a layer of the lemon marscapone on top repeat
once. Reserve leftover Limoncello mixture.
You should let the tira mi su set for at least 2 hours before serving,
overnight is ideal.
Candied lemon chips (for garnish) slice lemon into very thin slices dip
into 3 cups simple syrup lay flat on silk pad lined sheet tray and bake
at 200 degrees until crisp, about 2 hours.
Candied kumquats cut kumquats in half and remove pits.
Place in pot with 3 cups simple syrup (enough to cover kumquats) and let
simmer slowly, cook the kumquats until they become translucent
Take left over Limoncello and simple syrup mixture and add 1 tsp. of
cornstarch for a sauce to garnish the plate.
