Tiramisu

Tiramisu is a delicious dessert that is so easy to put together and requires no cooking. It is sweet, rich and fluffy with a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

In this recipe, I used just a little bit of sugar as the ladyfingers are already sweet, so I didn’t want the Mascarpone mixture to be extremely sweet too. However, feel free to adjust the sugar amount to suit your preference.

If you want to make a kid friendly Tiramisu, you can dip the ladyfingers in some cocoa milk syrup instead of espresso and skip the liqueur.

Tiramisu

Directions:

1. Start with separating the egg yolks from the whites, then mix the egg yolks with 3 tbsp of sugar over a pot with simmering water until thick, creamy and pale yellow in color.
2. Add in the vanilla extract and transfer to another bowl to cool faster.
3. Add in the mascarpone cheese and blend well.
4. Whip egg whites with the remaining 2 tbsp of sugar and salt, until foamy.
5. Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture.
6. In a bowl, combine the cooled espresso with the liqueur and set aside.
7. Dip the ladyfingers in the coffee mixture and lay out in a single layer on the bottom of a 8 X 8 inch tray. (be keen not to soak the ladyfingers too much, only the edges should be soaked)
8. Add half of the mascarpone mixture, lay another layer of soaked ladyfingers and add the rest of the mascarpone mixture on top.
9. Cover and refrigerate for at least six hours or preferably overnight before serving.
10. Sprinkle cocoa powder on top to garnish.
11. Serve and enjoy.
