Chocolate Cake Tiramisu with Chocolate Sabayon
Servings
6
Prep Time
60 minutes
Cook Time
60 minutes
Ingredients
- 6 large egg yolks (at room temperature)
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- ½ cup imported sweet Marsala
- ½ cup plus ‚1/3 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2/3 cup 4 ounces dark chocolate morsels or semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup mascarpone cheese (at room temperature)
- 1 store-bought chocolate cake mix
- 1 3.5- ounce bar bittersweet chocolate (such as Lindt for chocolate curls (optional))
Instructions
- Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a medium stainless steel bowl until blended. Whisk in Marsala, 1/2 cup cream, and salt. Place the bowl over a large saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water). Whisk constantly until the sauce is thick and a thermometer inserted into the sabayon registers 160°F to 170°F, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the bowl from over the water. Add the chocolate morsels and whisk until they are melted and the sabayon is smooth and blended. (The sabayon can be made 1 hour ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Whisk before continuing.)
- Whisk the remaining 1/3 cup cream and the mascarpone in another medium bowl until peaks form. Dice cake into small cubes. Place about 1/2 cup of the cake cubes into each of six 1 1/2- to 2-cup old-fashioned glasses or water goblets. Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons sabayon over the cake. Top with a spoonful of the mascarpone cream. Repeat the layering with cake, sabayon, and mascarpone cream.
- To make the chocolate curls, stand the chocolate bar in a large measuring cup. Microwave on 50% power in 10-second intervals just until the chocolate feels a bit warm. Stand the chocolate bar upright and run a vegetable peeler down one narrow edge, creating off chocolate curls. Sprinkle the curls over each tiramisu and serve.

Hi Giada, Being an Italian girl myself, I admire you and love watching your shows and trying your recipes. This one sounds amazing as a chocolate lover but I have a question. Can this be prepared and put together in advance or it is best to arrange right before serving? On a side note, your recipe for Chicken with Mustard Mascarpone Marsala sauce is amazing!!!! Ciao!
