How to prepare Orange tiramisu

To prepare the orange tiramisu, first prepare the cream. In a saucepan, pour 1/2 cup (125 g) of sugar, water 1, and turn on the heat. As soon as the syrup reaches a temperature of 240°F (115°C), pour the egg yolks into the bowl of a stand mixer and begin to beat them with a whisk, adding the remaining 1/4 cup (50 g) of sugar 2. As soon as the syrup has reached a temperature of 250°F (121°C) 3

pour it slowly into the stand mixer 4 and continue to beat at medium speed until the mixture is lukewarm 5. Transfer the mascarpone cheese to a bowl and beat it with a whisk to make it softer. Then pour in the egg yolk mixture 6

and whisk until obtaining a smooth cream 7. Add the grated orange zest 8 and mix to incorporate it 9.

Whip the fresh liquid cream from the fridge 10, it should be soft and shiny. Add it to the mascarpone cream 11 and gently mix it with a spatula to incorporate it 12.
