Tiramisu
One more day till New Year's Eve...One more year left behind...And it's time for that tiramisu recipe..Mmm..yiammeee...I made this for Christmas and everyone loved it..;)
The original italian recipe of tiramisu has eggs inside. I made it without them, firstly because i'm a little afraid of eating raw eggs, because of salmonella and secondly because i thought it would be healthier and even people with cholesterol problems could eat it!!
So, we'll need:
A pack of savoiardi or lady fingers
250 gr mascarpone cheese
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp coffee liquer (you can also use brandy or black rum..I used the second).
150 ml espresso in room temperature
150 lm cream milk
4 tbsp icing sugar
Cocoa powder for dusting
Preparation:
Beat the mascarpone with the sugar until fluffy. Add the vanilla, the brandy and 50 ml of the espresso until well blended.
In another bowl beat the cream until smooth and fluffy and fold in the mascarpone mix.
Pour the remaining coffee with 1 tbsp of liquer in a small bowl. Take one sponge finger at a time and dip it in the coffee for just 1 second.
Line the fingers on one side in little bowls (break them if you need), or in martini glasses or in a pan.
Spoon the mascarpone mix on top. Repeat one more time, so that you'll have two lines of sponge fingers with cream in between.
Refrigerate.
Before serving dust the cocoa powder.
Hope you enjoy!! :)
Good luck!!
