An idiot's guide to making Tiramisu:
Recipe:
5 egg yolks
2/3 cup sugar
250mg (1 can) mascarpone cheese
250mg (1 small packet) whipping cream
3 tbs liquor (brandy or coffee liquor)
40 sticks ladyfingers ( A cake/biscuit look alike)
1 cup dark coffee or espresso
2 tbs cocoa/milo powder
How to do it:
1. Beat the egg yolks until smooth. Add in sugar and liquor and beat until the mixture is thick as whipped cream.
2.Beat the Mascarpone cream cheese and whipping cream separately until smooth. Mix both ingredients with the mixture in Step 1 until homogeneous.
3.Pour the coffee on a plate large enough to lay the lady fingers on. Dip the lady fingers into the coffee partially and rapidly take them out. Lay the dampened lady fingers on the bottom of the 9" pan.
4. Spread half of the cream mixture over the bottom layer of lady fingers.
5. Repeat step 3 and 4, with the lady fingers being place on top of the first layer of cream.
6. Lastly, sprinkle the cocoa powder on top of the top cream layer to complete the Tiramisu. Refrigerate for a few hours and it is ready to serve.
