Ingredients

CARAMEL SAUCE

  • 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120 g) unsalted cold butter
  • ½ cup + 2 tbsp (200 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 tsp salt

MILK MIXTURE

  • 3 tbsp prepared caramel sauce
  • 2/3 cups (150 ml) milk

TIRAMISU FILLING

  • Slightly under 1 cup (230 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • ¾ cup (100 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 2/3 cups (400 g) mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120 g) cream cheese, room temperature
  • 7 tbsp (100 g) prepared caramel sauce

ASSEMBLING

  • 14 ladyfingers
  • 3 tbsp caramel sauce
  • 5 Twix bars
  • 14 ladyfingers
  • 3 tbsp caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the caramel sauce. In a light-colored pan, melt 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar, stir with a silicone spatula until it has all mostly melted; it’s okay if there are sugar lumps. The sugar will have a caramelized color. Turn off the stove and add ½ cup (120 g) unsalted cold butter, and bring it back on the stove on the lowest heat setting, mixing until almost all incorporated. Add ½ cup + 2 tbsp (200 ml) heavy whipping cream and continue mixing until it has some consistency, which can take about 1-2 minutes. Add 1/4 tsp salt and mix.
  2. Pass the caramel mixture through a sieve to remove all the unnecessary lumps, cover with plastic wrap, and let it cool at room temperature.
  3. For the milk mixture, warm up 3 tbsp of the prepared caramel mixture with 2/3 cup (150 ml) milk until it’s all incorporated.
  4. Prepare the tiramisu mixture. In a stand mixer, whip together slightly under 1 cup (230 ml) heavy whipping cream with ¾ cup (100 g) powdered sugar. Use the whisk attachment and whip until medium-soft peaks.
  5. In a mixing bowl, work 1 2/3 cups (400 g) room temperature mascarpone cheese with ½ cup (120 g) room temperature cream cheese. You need the mixture to be creamy, soft, and lump-free. Add 7 tbsp (100 g) of the prepared caramel sauce.
  6. To this mixture, add the whipped cream and fold it with a silicone spatula.
  7. Assemble the tiramisu. Soak 14 ladyfingers in the milk mixture and place them at the bottom of an 8-inch (20 cm) square pan with a removable bottom. Soak the ladyfingers one at a time to avoid sogginess. Add 3 tbsp of the prepared caramel over the ladyfingers. Spread half of the tiramisu filling and smooth it out. Chop 5 Twix bars and spread them over the smooth layer.
  8. Add another layer of 14 soaked ladyfingers, 3 tbsp of caramel sauce, and the rest of the tiramisu filling. smooth it out and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, best overnight.
  9. To decorate the tiramisu, melt the rest of the caramel sauce, let it cool slightly, just so it’s not too hot. Pour it over the tiramisu and tilt the pan so it spreads all over the top layer. Refrigerate for 2 hours, so it has time to harden. Grab 5 pieces of Twix and cut them in half. Place 9 of the pieces to decorate. Serve cold and enjoy!

Notes

Overcooking the caramel results in the fat separating from it.
