Tiramisu - non liquor
 |
Both of us are crazy over tiramisu. The best tiramisu we’ve ever eaten was in a fine Italian restaurant in London several years ago. It’s a shame that we can’t remember the name and location of the restaurant.
Got this recipe from a friend here. To my amazement, the recipe is super simple and takes only 20 minutes to prepare with an electric whisk. I do not have an electric one but I have a human whisk called Eng hehe. Not too sure how authentic the recipe is, otherwise my Italian boss will be in tears if he ever sees this. Here are the ingredients and instructions:-
Sponge fingers, 250g mascarpone cheese, 125g double cream (optional), 100g sugar, 4 egg yolks, 1 egg white, 300ml Espresso or 3 packets of strong black coffee, coffee liquor (kahlua/rum/marsala).
I did not add any liquor for health reasons and due to the fact that I’m still breastfeeding. I even exclude the double cream as it is too rich. Firstly, whisk the cheese, cream, sugar, eggs and coffee until thickens. Dip sponge fingers into coffee and lay a layer on a dish. Pour the cream mixture over the sponge fingers. Sprinkle some cocoa powder over it. I love lots of cocoa powder as you can see by the thick layer in the pix. Chill tiramisu in the fridge overnight. That’s it!
