Tiramisu is a no-bake Italian dessert. It is made of layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers followed by cream, the number of layers depending on the amount of the ladyfingers and cream and finally, a dusting of cocoa powder on top. Most recipes incorporate egg yolks in the cream and alcohol in the coffee and cream. However, I have made the version without egg yolks nor alcohol.
Ingredients:
- 4 tbsp instant coffee powder
- 350 ml hot water
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 250 g mascarpone cheese
- 80 g castor sugar
- 24 pieces lady fingers
Tool:
- Glass baking dish 18 cm x 12 cm
Instructions:
- Dissolve instant coffee powder in hot water and set it aside to cool down.
- Whip heavy cream until stiff peak is achieved. Set it aside.
- Beat mascarpone cheese and sugar till sugar dissolves.
- Combine whipped cream with mascarpone cheese till they are well incorporated.
- Dip ladyfingers into coffee and line them at the bottom of the glass baking dish. (Do not soak the ladyfingers; a quick dip will do.)
- Layer cheese mixture over them.
- Line another layer of ladyfingers on the cream.
- Then, layer cheese mixture over them.
- Dust a generous amount of cocoa powder on the cream.
- Chill the tiramisu for at least 4 hours before serving.
- Enjoy.
