It's a popular Italian dessert made of ladyfingers (Italian: Savoiardi) dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of egg yolks and mascarpone cheese, and flavored with liquor and cocoa.
A friend, Sharon P, shared her recipe of tiramisu in one of the forums that I've joined and few other forummers who have tried this simply loved it and gave two thumbs up.
So, I've decided to make this as it's one of my mom's favourite dessert. This is really an easy one to make!
Verdict: The tiramisu was snapped up within 24 hours. That should tell you a lot. :)
A big thank you to SP for sharing this wonderful recipe.
So here's the recipe.
Tiramisù
What You'll Need
- 350ml espresso coffee, made with 350ml water and 9 teaspoons instant espresso powder, cooled
- 250ml Baileys
- 2 x 200g Savoiardi (Italian lady finger) biscuits
- 2 eggs
- 75g caster sugar
- 500g mascarpone
- 2 1/2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
How?
1. Mix the coffee with 175ml of Baileys in a shallow bowl. Dip the biscuits into the liqour; let them soak on each side enough to become damp but not soggy.2. Line the bottom of a 22cm square glass dish with a layer of biscuits
3. Separate the eggs, but keep only one of the whites. Whisk the two yolks and the sugar together until thick and a paler yellow, then fold in the remaining 75ml of Baileys, and the mascarpone to make a moussy mixture.
4. Whisk the single egg until thick and frothy; you can do this by hand with such a little amount. Fold the egg white into the yolky mascarpone, and then spread half of this mixture on top of the layer of biscuits.
5. Repeat with another layer of soaked Savoiardi, and then top with the remaining mascarpone mixture.
6. Cover the dish with clingfilm and leave in the fridge overnight.
7. When ready to serve, sprinkle the cocoa powder on top using a sieve.
