Tiramisu





______________________________


Recipe for Tiramisu

Makes a 6x6 inch cake.

Ingredients:

  • 250g Mascarpone Cheese, at room temperature
  • 3 Egg Yolks
  • 70g Sugar
  • 70ml Milk
  • 150ml Whipping Cream
  • 1tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tsp Cocoa Powder
  • 40ml Strong Coffee/Espresso (cooled at room temperature)
  • 2 Tbsp Dark Rum
  • 1pack of Italian Ladyfinger
Directions:
  1. Prepare Mascarpone mixture. Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a small saucepan until fluffy and light yellow in colour. 
  2. Add in milk then put over low heat. Stir constantly until the mixture simmers and thickens a little. Let it cool and refrigerate.
  3. In a clean and dry bowl, whip cream on medium speed with an electronic mixer or by hand to stiff peaks. TIP: When whipping fresh cream, always make sure the cream is cold and your utensils and tools are dry and grease-free, or else the cream would not whip out and might even curdle. 
  4. Take egg yolk mixture out from refrigerator and combine with mascarpone cheese.
  5. Add in whipped cream and mix till well incorporated.
  6. Assemble Tiramisu. Prepare a cake board/plate and a mousse cake mould (either a 6-inch square or 7-inch round). 
  7. Stir rum (or your choice of liquor) into room temperature strong coffee/ espresso in a wide dish.
  8. Dip lady fingers into the coffee and rum mixture for 3 seconds (this is the perfect amount of time for the biscuits to be not too dry nor too soggy), then lay them onto the cake board/plate. 
  9. When you have filled up the bottom layer, scoop in half of the mascarpone mixture and even out with a spatula. Sift a layer of cocoa powder on top. Repeat to fill up the cake mould.
  10. Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 - 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  11. Remove mould, take a photo and serve! :P
