A vibrant twist on classic tiramisu featuring the sweet and earthy flavors of purple yam (ube) layered with coffee and creamy mascarpone.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 egg yolks
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 cup espresso or strong coffee
- ¼ teaspoon ube extract
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup (8oz) mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup ube halaya
- ¼ teaspoon ube extract (additional)
- 1 package Lady Fingers
- 1–2 tablespoon ube powder (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Coffee and Ube Mixture: Brew the espresso or strong coffee and let it cool. Mix the cooled coffee with ¼ teaspoon of ube extract and set aside.
- Make the Zabaglione: Whisk the egg yolks and white sugar together until pale and fluffy.
