Our Sunday Slow Scooping challenge this week is Tiramisu. Krista made this her choice, after reading 'The Perfect Scoop' cover to cover. I am glad she did! Tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts. I posted a traditional tiramisu recipe before my trip to Italy. Now I have to admit... the ice cream is much easier!
Tiramisu Ice Cream
2 cups mascarpone
1 cup half & half
2/3 cup sugar
pinch of salt
1/4 cup kahlua
3 Tbs dark rum
Mocha Ripple
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup strong coffee
6 Tbs cocoa powder
1/2 tsp vanilla
To make the mocha ripple- Whisk together the sugar corn syrup coffee and cocoa in a sauce pan over medium heat until it starts to bubble. Cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Put in the fridge to cool before using.
For the ice cream- Pour the mascarpone, half & half, sugar, salt, kahlua, and rum together in a blender. Mix until smooth. Chill thoroughly in the fridge
Freeze in the ice cream maker. As you remove it from the machine, layer with Mocha Ripple. 
The only problem I had was that my cream didn't freeze in the machine... could be the amount of alcohol and the fact that I may have tipped a little much. I put it in the freezer in a plastic container and it froze perfectly after several hours.
This is a fantastic dessert, served with lady fingers, much like the tiramisu I enjoyed in Italy. I will be making this ice cream again... in fact I may never soak ladyfingers and layer mascarpone again!Y'all enjoy!

Sandi, I've been waiting and waiting for your blog entry for this week. :grin: And I agree, why bother with making traditional Tiramisu ever again?
I agree with you - why make the more labour intensive tiramisu again? LOL
Passing this onto Evil Sister...she lived in Italy for several years and often talks about the desserts she learned to love there...I'm sure she'll love this one

Wow...this sounds sooooooo good.
It is just breakfast time here in West Texas but I wish I could have THIS, right now!
Nothing like an ice cream version of Tiramisu, looks absolutely divine!
You know...as fat as I am and as much food as I like - I hate tiramisu. Ain't that a shame?
