How to make the perfect Tiramisù with walnuts and salted caramel

We’ll start with the caramelized nuts: boil the water and granulated sugar bringing the temperature to 120 ° C, then put inside walnuts (once you have slightly heated them) and stir until they are perfectly caramelized. Put the mixture on a flat surface using wax paper and let it cool.
How to make Mascarpone cream with nuts: mix Mascarpone with the chopped caramelized walnuts and some meringues. And this was easy, no problem at all.
Now let’s tackle the salted caramel: in a pan caramelize slowly the sugar then pour the boiling water. Season with the salt and stir well.
Put a layer of ladyfingers cut on the bottom of the glass, soak well with a few drops of coffee and lie down with a spoon some Mascarpone cream and nuts and cover with a thin layer of salted caramel.
Now using sac-à-poche finish make the last layer, filling the glass with some classic Tiramisù cream.
