I always thought that making tiramisu is a difficult task to do. But when i did a little research on how to make it, turns out it's the easiest thing to do. I got the recipe from Nicko's Kitchen. He's an Australian who's got a cooking channel on youtuhbe, you might want to check it out.
All you need:
20 sponge fingers (lady fingers)
1 cup sugar (make it 1/2 or it'll taste too sweet)
4 eggs (separated)
2 cups espresso
1 1/2 cups mascarpone cheese
2 tbsp rum or Kahlua
Directions:
- Separate egg yolk and egg whites into 2 bowls
- Cream together egg yolks with mascarpone cheese and sugar
- In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until it forms a soft peak and a bit firm
- Fold together egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Slowly fold them with your spatula. It's best not to use electric beater, because it tends to make your mixture too liquidy. Leave the mixture for a while while you are preparing the lady fingers.
- Make 2 cups of coffee or espresso, and mix it with rum or Kahlua.
- Dip the sides of lady fingers and arrange them in a dish.
- Pour half of the mixture on top of the pre-arranged lady fingers until fully covered. And then prinkle with chocolate powder.
- Repeat the same method
- Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours or more, for the best result.
