Make a classic tiramisu layered with sweet cream cheese and delicate cake spiked with coffee and rum.

Mascarpone is a sinfully rich double or triple cream cheese that originated in the Lombardy region of Italy. It has a delicate, buttery flavor with just a hint of sweetness. Look for it in the cheese case in large supermarkets, specialty cheese shops or gourmet food stores.

If you don’t have rum, you can substitute in 1/8 teaspoon rum extract mixed with 2 tablespoons water.

2 packages frozen (thawed) pound cake (10.75-oz each) can be substituted for the ladyfingers. Place each pound cake on its side; carefully cut each into 3 lengthwise slices for a  total of 6 slices. Brush each slice with the espresso mixture (do not soak). Arrange 3 slices crosswise in the  baking dish. Layer as directed in step 4, adding remaining 3 slices.

Ever wonder where tiramisu came from? This delicious Italian dessert most likely originated in the Treviso region of Italy during the late 1960’s or early 1970’s. Also known as “Tuscan Trifle,” it is rumored to have been created accidentally in a restaurant and it was more custardy than cake-like in texture. The recipe quickly gained popularity and went through several variations as it traveled throughout the country, across Europe and eventually to America. Fun fact, the name “Tiramisu” actually means “pick me up” because of the espresso—share that tidbit, along with our Best Tiramisu recipe, at your next dinner party!

There are a few different liquors that can be used in tiramisu, including Marsala wine, Madeira wine, kahlua and rum. This recipe calls for rum, which many home cooks might already have on hand.

What is the best liquor for tiramisu?

Tiramisu was made for making ahead. Because the ladyfinger cookies need time to absorb all the delicious flavors, this treat is better after at least four hours in the fridge and can be refrigerated for up to (but not more than) 24 hours.

Should tiramisu be made the day before?

Tiramisu is best stored loosely covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. This makes it ideal for preparing the day before serving. For an optimal eating experience, we do not recommend making this dessert and then freezing before serving. The tiramisu’s texture may be adversely affected during the freezing and thawing cycles, causing it to be soggy or watery.

What’s the best way to store tiramisu?

In traditional recipes like this one, the tiramisu ingredients include ladyfingers. On the other hand, tiramisu cake often uses layers of sponge cake soaked in espresso and a little bit of liqueur, giving the cake a different structure and texture. Both tiramisu and tiramisu cake include mascarpone cream, which plays so well with the coffee and cocoa flavors.

What’s the difference between tiramisu and tiramisu cake?

There are some essential tiramisu ingredients—add-ins that make a tiramisu a tiramisu—including mascarpone or cream cheese, ladyfinger cookies, brewed coffee or espresso, chocolate or baking cocoa, and a splash of alcohol (most typically rum or Marsala wine).

What is tiramisu made of?

Can’t find mascarpone? You can use cream cheese instead. Cream cheese does not taste quite as sweet as mascarpone, but it still makes a great substitute!

What is a substitute for mascarpone in tiramisu?

In our Best Tiramisu recipe, we brush the ladyfingers with the espresso mixture before layering them in the baking dish. This gives the ladyfingers just the right amount of moisture and helps them absorb the delicious coffee and rum flavors without getting too soggy.

How do you keep ladyfingers from getting soggy in tiramisu?

Wrapping foil around the bottom of the pan helps to keep anything from dripping out while baking.

What is the best cheesecake flavor?

Adding either heavy cream or sour cream to the cheesecake layer will help create a smoother texture. But keep in mind that heavy cream may mask the tangy cream cheese flavor while sour cream will help enhance it. In our Best Cheesecake recipe, we add sour cream to the top layer only, but all that nice tang from the cream cheese still comes through.

Is heavy cream or sour cream better for cheesecake?

Yes, you will want to make sure your cream cheese is softened before using it to make this Best Cheesecake recipe. The best way to soften cream cheese is to take it out of the fridge, and let it sit on your countertop for an hour before using. But if you forget or are short on time, don’t worry! A delicious homemade cheesecake is still in your future. To quickly soften your cream cheese, place it unwrapped on a microwave-safe plate and microwave it for 10 seconds. Repeat a few times, checking the texture and temp after each time. Watch it closely! Microwaves vary, and the cream cheese can turn into a messy puddle very quickly.

Should cream cheese be room temp when making cheesecake?

First of all, make sure that your baked cheesecake is completely cool. Then, with the cheesecake still in the springform pan, cover and refrigerate it for 3 to 5 days.

What’s the best way to store cheesecake?

The very first mention of cheesecake is from Ancient Greece. A physician in the 5th century BC wrote a book on making cheesecakes. It wasn’t until about the 18th century that the version of cheesecake that we know and love today emerged. It was around this time that Europeans began to use eggs instead of yeast, which gave cheesecake a more dessert-like quality. As the Europeans immigrated to America, they brought their cheesecake recipes along with them, and the rest, as they say, is history!

What’s the history of cheesecake?

New York-style cheesecake typically has a denser texture than regular cheesecake thanks to the addition of more cream cheese. Other ingredients like extra eggs, egg yolks and sour cream may be added to give New York-style cheesecake a smooth texture.

What is the difference between New York-style cheesecake and regular cheesecake?

The top of your cheesecake may crack for several different reasons. The most common reason is overmixing, which can incorporate too much air into the batter. Once it’s baked, the air bubbles will burst, causing the top to crack. To help prevent cracking, make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing your batter. Also, don’t forget to set that timer! Overbaking or opening your oven door before your cake is ready can also cause cracking. Finally, after removing your cake from the oven, be sure to let it cool at room temp before placing it in the fridge to chill.

Why did my cheesecake crack?

If you have Marsala wine, rum or another type of brandy on hand, any of those can be substituted for the cognac.

Avoiding caffeine? Use decaffeinated coffee in the coffee syrup.

An easy way to moisten cake layers is to fill a clean plastic condiment bottle with the coffee syrup, then drizzle over each layer.

To cut cake layers evenly, mark sides of cake with toothpicks, and cut through layer with a long, thin serrated knife.

To keep the cake plate clean while spreading filling, place strips of cooking parchment paper or waxed paper on the edge of the plate. Slide out the strips when you’re finished.

A tiramisu cake typically is generously topped with sifted cocoa powder, but feel free to use less, if desired.

This cake tastes better the longer it sits. For optimal flavor, make it 8 to 12 hours before serving.

Ah, chocolate mousse. The distinctly decadent dessert with a thick and creamy texture and rich, chocolate flavor. It’s the kind of dessert you probably associate with fancy, fine, French dining, but with Betty by your side, it’s achievable right in your own kitchen!&nbsp;The word mousse is a French term meaning “foam” or “froth,” which does a pretty good job getting the point across. It’s a fluffy yet creamy chocolate dessert that, when prepared just right, has a lightly whipped texture that melts in your mouth and adds a touch of class to the end of your meal. Chocolate mousse was first made in France. Surprisingly enough, it was originally invented by the French artist Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, a famously experimental cook who saw the savory mousses popular at the time, such as foie gras, and had the brilliant idea that they might be a lot tastier with a whole lot of chocolate instead! The ingredients are simple—eggs, cream, sugar and semisweet baking chocolate. But the secret to the best chocolate mousse recipe is in the technique. Lucky you, the Betty Crocker Test Kitchens have made that part easy.&nbsp;

The best chocolate mousse recipe has simply egg yolks, sugar, whipping cream, and semisweet baking chocolate. Plus a little patience. It’s important to take your time and add the ingredients gradually to achieve an unforgettably smooth texture.In fact, that unique texture can be found in all of our <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/dishes/mousse-recipes
">mousse recipes</a>. It’s not just chocolate that makes a supremely delicious dessert—though it certainly does help!

Chocolate Mousse Ingredients

When it comes to preparing Chocolate Mousse, its gourmet reputation can seem intimidating, but our recipe keeps it simple. The complete directions are below, but here’s everything you need to make a dessert your family will love. You’ve got this!<h3>Start with the Egg Yolks</h3>Separate out the yolks and beat with an electric mixer for about 3 minutes, or until the mixture takes on a thick, almost fluffy texture.<h3>Heat One Cup of the Cream</h3>Once it’s hot, reduce the heat and temper the eggs by gradually adding at least half of the cream to the eggs. If the cream is added too quickly, it could start to cook the eggs. So be patient, and take your time. Once the eggs are tempered, stir them back into the saucepan.<h3>Add the Chocolate</h3>Now comes the fun part. Once the egg-cream mixture is thickened, stir in the chocolate and let it melt. Refrigerate the result for a few hours to let it set.<h3>Whip up Some Cream</h3>It’s back to the electric mixer to beat the remainder of the cream into a stiff foam. Here’s how to check if the cream is ready: When you take the whisk out, you’ll notice small peaks form and stand up on their own.<h3>Combine and Enjoy</h3>This is when the magic happens. Gradually fold in the whipped cream into your rich chocolate mixture, and when you’re done, you’ll have the best of both worlds: A fluffy, creamy dessert with smooth chocolate flavor. Spoon into cups and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve!

How to Make Chocolate Mousse

The ideal way to serve mousse is in individual cups or serving bowls. Not only will you add a flair of fine dining to your kitchen, but the relatively steep sides will give your mousse some verticality. And a simple garnish makes the perfect finishing touch. A dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of freshly grated chocolate on top will make each cup a little work of art for every person at your table.<h3>&nbsp;</h3>

How Should I Serve Chocolate Mousse?

Mousse should be served refrigerated, so the cold can help the mousse set into that signature fluff. If you end up with leftovers, the finished mousse will last for about 3-5 days in the fridge. Cover to prevent drying, and when you’re ready to serve again—or just ready for a snack—you can take it straight from fridge to table.<h3>Can You Freeze Chocolate Mousse?</h3>Chocolate mousse does very well in the freezer, and once frozen, it will keep for up to 2 months. To bring it back to life, transfer the mousse into the refrigerator and let it thaw for about 2 hours until it’s soft enough to spoon and serve. Allowing it to come back to a cool temperature slowly—instead of heating it up at all—helps the mousse keep its structure, so it’s just as thick and fluffy as the day it was made.

Other Mousse Recipes We Love

Mousse is delicate work. If you stick to the recipe, and work with patience, you’ll get the results you’re after. Here are some common pitfalls and how to avoid them.
Overbeating the Eggs Beating the egg yolks blends them together into a smooth consistency and introduces tiny air bubbles that give them their structure. But it’s possible to over-beat, which will make your eggs dry out and result in a grainy mixture. Watch your eggs as you beat them, and when they’re adequately thickened, you’re ready to move on to the next step.
Adding a Thickening Agent Adding something like cornstarch and cold milk can be a shortcut to getting the thick, luscious feel of mousse everybody loves, but the result is a mousse that’s not as easy to work with. If the cornstarch breaks down, the mousse could become runny.

What Are Common Mistakes When Making Mousse?

The difference is in how each dessert is thickened. Chocolate mousse uses beaten eggs and whipped cream to form its base structure, and does not need to be cooked. Chocolate pudding uses cornstarch as a thickening agent, and the resulting mixture is cooked, which activates the cornstarch and forms a more dense, wobbly texture. The result is that chocolate mousse has a much more delicate consistency, as opposed to chocolate pudding which is quite dense.
