Yahoo Tiramisu 16 August 2007

Ok I now I have spoken about it before but this time I actually made it. It also turned out rather well too. My room mate , who has since gone back to Germany had a book with all these great recipes and I am sorry I didn’t take down anymore but I managed to scribble down this recipe before he left and I am glad I did. Anyway I had some time and I decided to go off to the Tuo Di supermarket and go get some ingredients.

So this is what you need:

500 grams of marscapone, 150 millitres of milk, 75 grams of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoured sugar, 2 cups of coffee ( preferably from the mocha ), 2 shots of amaretto and 200 grams of finger biscuits and 1 tablespoon of sweetened chocolate powder. Right now lets go through how you stick it all together and get a great result.

 

So the first thing you should do is get the coffee done and let it cool down. While that is happening you can get on with the rest. So dump the mascarpone, vanilla and sugar into the bowl and whick the hell out of it. Now add the milk a bit at a time. You don’t want to add too much milk or the tiramisu wont set properly. The mixture should be smooth not runny. If you don’t use all the milk by the time you have got this result its fine just drink what’s left and carry on. By this time the coffee should have cooled down and you can now add the 2 shots of amaretto to it. Another trick is not to dunk the biscuits into the coffee but rather put them in the dish first and then take a tablespoon and pour it over the biscuits. Once you have drizzled the first layer of biscuits with the coffee you can add a lyer of your mascarpone cream. Then repeat this with another layer of biscuits and then finally another layer of cream. For the finale get a table spoon of chocolate powder and dust it over the top of the tiramisu using a sive. You don’t want to do this without one because if you do it will come out all lumpy and you will choke on the chocolate powder.

Once you have done this leave the tiramisu in the fridge for at least 6 to 8 hours. Or even better over night. It is really quick and easy to make. From making the coffee to putting it in the fridge takes about 30 minutes. This recipe will be enough for 8 to 10 people depending if they only have one piece.

Another great thing about this recipe is that there are no eggs so you can store it for a lot longer before having to eat it and it is has a bit less cholesterol in it than usual so granny can also have a piece. It’s also nice and light so it won’t feel like you have just eaten a horse and the cart it was pulling.

Buon appetito !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
