Tiramisu

Tiramisu is an italian cake & dessert. It is made of ladyfingers which is basically a sponge cake cut in long strips, dipped in coffee & layered with a whipped mixture of egg yolks & mascarpone cheese. Since, I dint get mascarpone cheese, I used paneer or cottage cheese which is as good as mascarpone cheese. And, Tiramisu means "Pick Me Up" so go ahead make it & dig in !!




You need :

  • 2pkts ladyfingers
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup espresso or instant dark coffee mixed in 1/4th cup water
  • 4 tsp sugar
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese or soft cottage cheese
  • unsweetened cocoa powder
Method :
  • Separate egg yolks & whites.
  • Add half sugar of mentioned quantity in yolks & mix well. Add cheese & mix again.
  • In another bowl, mix white vigorously alongwith sugar tillit doubles in size & forms soft peaks.
  • Fold the egg whites gently in the yolk & cheese mixture.
  • In a deep pan, place lady fingers soaked in coffee (dont soak for a long time)
  • Over the cake layer, spread the cheese mixture then sprinkle cocoa powder. Repeat the same for a second layer. 
  • Cover & refrigerate for 2-3 hrs.

Happy Eating :)
