Tiramisu, an Italian dessert which means 'Pick me up'.
Today I'm gonna teach you how to make a really simple and delicious Tiramisu dessert.
Serving size: 16
What you'll need:
Lady finger biscuits: 7 pkt, each packet has 6pcs of biscuit
Mascarpone cheese: 500g
Coffee or espresso:300ml
Egg yolks: 5nos
Sugar: 5 tbsp
Marsala wine or Brandy: 100ml-150ml
Whipping cream: 500ml
Method
- Beat the yolks and sugar till it turns fluffy in a mixer at medium speed, add in the mascarpone cheese into the mix and turn the speed down. Allow it to mix properly. Finally, add the Marsala wine/brandy into the mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cream till it turns creamy and fluffy. Fold the whipped cream into the yolk and mascarpone cheese mix.
- Take a serving dish and spread a layer of the mix unto the dish, dip the lady finger into the coffee and shake to get rid of excess coffee. Place the biscuit unto the layer of cream till it's completely covered. Repeat by adding another layer of the cream unto the biscuit and layer the cream with the biscuit again. Finish off with a final coat of cream and allow to chill in the chiller for 30mins.
- When about to serve, sprinkle cocoa powder over the top and use any fruits or berries as garnish.
Note: You may add sugar to the coffee if you do not want the biscuit to be too bitter.
Note: When you lay the lady finger biscuits, lay the first layer pointing upwards and the second layer pointing sideways or vice versa.
