"Deviled eggs don't have to just be savory!" Serrano-Bahri explains. He confesses that he loves making sweet deviled eggs which serve as a bite-size serving of your favorite dessert. He suggests, "Try making Tiramisu Deviled Eggs by combining mascarpone with egg yolks, vanilla extract and sugar for the filling. For the topping, pulverize lady fingers and mix with a teaspoon of instant espresso. You could also add a teaspoon of your favorite rum or liquor to the yolk mixture, but make sure it doesn't get too watery."
This clever recipe works so well because you're simply switching the traditional creamy elements of the filling (mayo and mustard) for mascarpone and sugar. This ensures that the stuffing has enough body and structure to be piped back into the eggs, while the coffee and liquor lend it a spike of intense flavor. The crunchy addition of crushed lady fingers brings much-needed texture against the soft consistency of the cooked whites and the luscious filling.
Nelson Serrano-Bahri also offers up a couple more inventive ideas for dessert deviled eggs. The first is a chocolate-based recipe, where the cooked yolks are mashed with cream, cream cheese, cocoa, sugar, and vanilla. Topped with chocolate shavings or a sprinkle of sea salt, the filling for these chocolatey bites can be whipped up in the food processor to save time.
