Hello,

Today we will be Tiramisu with a twist. Instead of using Rum and Espresso we will be using Beer Geek Breakfast. You can find the review on the beer in the previous post on HookedOnHops.com

On to Cooking!

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 c Cold Heavy Cream
  • 2 ea Eggs
  • 1 c Confectioner’s Sugar
  • 2 1/2 t Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 ea (8 oz) Tubs Mascarpone Cheese at toom temperature.
  • 2 c Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast
  • 40 ea Ladyfinger Cookies
  • 1/2 c Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

Preparation:

  1. In a chilled bowl, whip the Cream until stiff peaks form, making sure not to overbeat. Cover the bowl when done and set it aside in the refrigerator.
  2. In another bowl, beat Eggs and Salt until the volume doubles and the color lightens. Add the Sugar, Vanilla and Mascarpone. Mix gently until incorporated.
  3. Fold in the whipped cream and then set aside in the refrigerator.
  4. In a shallow dish quickly dunk both sides of the Ladyfingers. Arrange them in a single layer in an 8 inch square dish.
  5. Spread the layer of Mascarpone mixture over the Ladyfingers. Sprinkle on a liberal amount of cocoa using a fine mesh sieve. Repeat the layers, using all the Ladyfingers and Mascarpone mixture, and generously dusting with Cocoa again.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes:

Beeramisu will keep covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days.

The final product will look like this:

 

Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch Weasel

| January 2nd, 2012 | No comments

Beer Geek Brunch Weasel is a fine oatmeal stout brewed with kopi luwak, or civet coffee, which is one of the rarest coffees in the world. It is derived from the droppings of weasel-like civet cats which eat the ripe coffee berries. So, how is it? To say that this is the finest oatmeal stout that I have tasted would be an understatement. This would easily rate in the top 5 brews that I have had the pleasure to ingest. From the pitch black color, to the velvety texture, to the fantastic chocolate, coffee flavors, this is a beer to go out of your way to track down!
