DELICIOUS
Beeramisu
Paul's Beeramisu recipe calls for ladyfinger cookies to be bathed in a deep, rich porter beer mixture that has been blended with strong coffee. Not a Budweiser can in sight. It takes its cue from its traditional cousin by utilizing creamy mascarpone cheese sweetened with a bit of sugar as the foundation. If you are looking for a delicious, impressive, quick no-bake dessert - this is it. Tiramisu or beeramisu, it only takes about five minutes of active time to pull together. The rest if the time it is chilling in the refrigerator. Literally.
1 pound mascarpone cheese
1 cup confectioner's sugar
2 eggs (beaten)
1 tablespoon vanilla
3/4 cup heavy cream, whipped
48 ladyfinger cookies
6 ounces (3/4 cup) Porter beer
1/2 cup brewed coffee, the stronger the better
1/2 cup cocoa
In a large bowl mix together the mascarpone, sugar, beaten eggs and vanilla. Fold in the whipped cream. Set this mixture aside.
In a shallow dish stir together the Porter beer and the brewed coffee, Dip the ladyfingers cookies into the coffee mixture (hs note: if you are using regular non-Italian ladyfingers make it a quick dunk). Don't let the ladyfingers get soggy. Arrange them in a single layer in a glass casserole dish (hs note: 8x8 is prob. fine). Spread 1/2-inch layer of mascarpone mixture on top of the ladyfingers. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cocoa. Repeat this for the second layer. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving.
