We want to surprise you with a fresh, sumptuous, original and equally delicious version: tiramisu semifreddo. The base is the classic one with ladyfingers soaked in coffee and a mascarpone-based cream with the addition of cream and Italian meringue. The trick to flavoring the cream is to leave the coffee beans in the cream for several hours: you will feel the taste and aroma of your tiramisu semifreddo! To end a dinner with friends on a sweet note, for the perfect Sunday lunch dessert, bring the elegant tiramisu semifreddo to the table, slice it and enjoy it will be a pleasure!

To make the tiramisu semifreddo, infuse the coffee beans in the cream for at least 2 hours and even better if overnight 1. In this way the cream will be flavored with coffee without absorbing its color. Cover with the plastic wrap 2 and leave in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Meanwhile, prepare the Italian meringue: put the sugar in a saucepan, setting aside two tablespoons from the indicated dose 3. Pour the water and heat over medium heat to form the syrup,
immerse a food thermometer 4 to make sure that the syrup reaches a temperature of 250°F (121°C). When the syrup has reached 240°F (115°C), start beating the egg whites with a pinch of salt in a planetary mixer fitted with a whisk, when the egg whites begin to become light add the remaining sugar kept aside 5. Once the syrup reaches 250°F (121°C), pour it flush into the mixer in action 6,
continue to whisk until the meringue is cold 7. Filter the coffee from the cream with a colander 8 and whip it with an electric whisk 9.
Separately in a bowl, soften the mascarpone and then add it to the Italian meringue with a spatula 10, also add the cream, gently so as not to dismantle it 11. Pour the mixture into a 10x5" (26x12 cm) mold with a 3" (7 cm) high edge, fill the mold to the brim. Brush the surface to level it 12. Place in the refrigerator and continue with the preparation.
Prepare the coffee with the mocha and let it cool, pouring it into a large, low bowl. Then sweeten to taste 13. Cut out the tip of the ladyfingers to finish them 14. Take back the semifreddo, soak the ladyfingers quickly so as not to soften them too much and distribute them on the surface of the cake next to each other 15,
you have to cover the entire surface 16. Place the semifreddo in the freezer for at least another two hours. After the firming time, remove the semifreddo from the freezer and unmold it: to facilitate this operation you can immerse the mold for a few moments in boiling water 17 or you can help yourself with a torch by heating the mold. Then turn the semifreddo over onto a serving dish and, if necessary, level the surface with a spatula. With a potato peeler, make curls from the cube - or from the bar - of chocolate. Garnish the cake with dark chocolate curls 18. The tiramisu semifreddo is ready to be enjoyed.
