Frozen Tiramisu Cake with Thermomix

Preparation of Tiramisu Frozen Cake with Thermomix

Preparation of the Pastry Cream

1. Ingredients in the Thermomix:
2. In the Thermomix glass, put the milk, egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch. We mix at speed 3 for 8 minutes and at a temperature of 90 degrees.
3. Cream Cooling:
4. We transfer the cream to a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap so that it touches the surface to prevent a film from forming. We let it cool in the refrigerator.

Preparation of the Tiramisu Frozen Cake

1. Coffee Preparation:
2. We mix the coffee with the hot water and let it cool. We wet the cakes, without soaking them to prevent them from falling apart.
3. Mixture of Mascarpone Cheese and Pastry Cream:
4. In the Thermomix glass, we put the mascarpone cheese and the pastry cream. We mix for 10 seconds at speed 3. We reserve.
5. Whip the Cream:
6. We clean the Thermomix glass and add the cream with the sugar. We whip at speed 4 without time until the cream is firm. We add this mixture to the mascarpone cheese and the pastry cream, mixing well with enveloping movements to maintain the aerated texture.
7. Cake Assembly:
8. Pour a little of the cream cheese into the bottom of a rectangular mold. We cover with a layer of sponge cakes soaked in coffee. We alternate layers of both ingredients until they are used up. We freeze the cake for a minimum of 3 hours.
9. Decor:
10. When you take the cake out of the freezer, sprinkle cocoa powder on top. Our frozen tiramisu cake is now ready.

Tips for a Perfect Result

1. Coffee Temperature:
2. It is crucial that the coffee is well cooled before dipping the biscuits to prevent them from falling apart too quickly.
3. Quality of Mascarpone Cheese:
4. Use a good quality mascarpone cheese for optimal texture and flavor.
5. Quick Assembly:
6. Whipping the cream in the Thermomix can be quick, so keep an eye on it so you don’t overdo it and turn it into butter.
7. Freezing:
8. Make sure the cake is frozen well before decorating and serving. This will help keep the layers defined and the texture right.
