If I were to imagine Bigne with Tiramisu Mascarpone Cream as a person I would characterize them as “easy-going” because that is the exact feeling you get while baking them.
So, you may have noticed, if you are a frequent visitor of this blog, that I already wrote a piece about bigne’s ( or choux pastry) and you may also be asking yourself, ‘why to write another thing about bigne’s ?’, and my answer is because they are so damn good.
Ok I kinda got carried away there I mean they are good but it’s not just that. You can literally do anything with bigne’s!
Anything…? Ok not anything anything but you can make/prepare them in many different ways. Bigne’s can be savory, sweet, or sour. They can be the decoration or the main course. You can put five million different types of filling and decorate them as you please. And this is the reason they are one of my things to bake because you can let your imagination go wild. Otherwise, enough about my love bigne’s in general, let’s get to recipe!!!
These bigne have a little sweet, gooey twist inside of them …. Tiramisu Mascarpone Cream!
You might remember this cream if you’ve peaked at my tiramisu recipe. Now if you’ve ever tried mascarpone cream, and I hope everyone has and if you didn’t I feel sorry for you but at least now you can try it, it is a soft, delicate cream that makes me want to just chug an entire gallon of it on the daily but, alas, I can’t do that unless I actually want to die from organ failure.
