Ingredients
Cream
  • ⅓ cup mascarpone cheese
  • ¼ cup light whipping cream or coconut cream or cashew cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar/confectioners sugar
Custard
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp coffee granules/powder or espresso
  • ⅓ cup sugar (add less or more)
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp coffee flavored liquor(kahlua or irish coffee liqueur) - optional
  • 1 cup whole milk
butter to cook the bread
10 slices Brioche
Cocoa for dusting
Instructions
Cream
  1. Add whipping cream and mascarpone to a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed with electric mixers (or use a stand mixer). Slowly add sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract and whip to any consistency you like. I like it like a sauce, but if you prefer a stiffer cream, whip it to that consistency. Set aside in the refrigerator.
French Toast
  1. Whisk together eggs, coffee powder or espresso, cocoa, liqueur, milk, salt, sugar, in a flat-bottomed pie plate or baking dish. Place bread slices, one or two at a time, into the egg mixture and flip to make sure both sides of bread are well-coated. Soak for 10 seconds or 20 seconds for a more soaked version.
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet or on a griddle. Place bread slices in skillet or on griddle and cook on medium heat until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Serve immediately with cream and sprinkle of cocoa powder. If you don't serve it immediately keep warm in oven until ready to serve, but no longer than about 30 minutes.
Notes
Tiramisu can be made with or without alcohol. This recipe calls for coffee flavored liqueur because I like that it enhances the coffee flavor, but other options are marsala wine or brandy.
You are simply dipping your bread slices into the egg mixture. If you leave your bread in the mixture for an extended amount of time, it will absorb more liquid and take longer to cook through.
