This Tiramisu Meringue Roulade is a delicious twist on an Italian classic. Rich, creamy mascarpone cream is swirled with a glossy coffee ganache and rolled into a light, fluffy meringue. Dust with cocoa powder and enjoy!
Ingredients
For the meringue
- 4 large egg whites at room temperature
- 200g caster sugar
- icing sugar and cocoa powder, for dusting
For the mascarpone cream
- 200ml double cream
- 50g dark brown soft sugar
- 150g mascarpone
- 3 tbsp masala coffee liqueur or normal coffee liqueur (optional)
For the coffee ganache
- 4 tbsp instant coffee, dissolved in 50ml boiling water and left to cool slightly
- 100g dark chocolate, melted and left to cool slightly
Instructions
- Step 1: Begin by combining the melted chocolate and coffee, whisking the 'ingredients' together until it takes on a glossy sheen. Allow the mixture to cool and thicken, stirring intermittently.
- Step 2: Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 23 x 32cm baking tray with parchment paper. For the meringue, use an electric mixer to whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they thicken slightly.
- Step 3: Begin adding one tablespoon of caster sugar to the egg whites and whisk until a stiff peak forms. Continue to add the sugar in spoonfuls until the mixture is rich and glossy. Evenly distribute the mixture into the baking tray and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and crisp to the touch. Allow it to cool completely before serving.
- Step 4: In a medium bowl, combine the cream, sugar, mascarpone and liqueur (if desired) and whisk until creamy.
- Step 5: Sprinkle a generous amount of powdered sugar on a large piece of parchment. Carefully invert the cooled meringue onto the parchment. Remove the tin and peel off the parchment underneath. Create a crease 2 cm from one end of the meringue. Spread an even layer of ganache on the meringue and top with cream, using a palette knife to even it out. Roll the meringue up with the help of the parchment, beginning at the creased end. Place on a plate and finish with a dusting of cocoa powder.
