Tiramisu.......My New Love


I was introduced to this wonderful dessert few months back by one of my colleagues in the office cafeteria. One bite and i absolutely fell in love with it. From that day onwards on all thursdays i always take my lunch in office canteen as every thursdays we have TIRAMISU :) I wanted to try making this wonderful dessert at home so i started looking out for recipes on the internet. There are many different versions of making this but i chose the recipe shown on you tube here.
Tiramisu is basically made of egg yolks and mascarpone cheese,  garnished with cocoa powder. Some recipes also use whipped egg whites and heavy cream to make it more light and fluffy. For the base i have used Savoiardi which are similar to lady finger. This dish is perfect for social gatherings and parties, you can prepare it one day earlier too. Sending this dish to Events for Eggs hosted by Sudeshna of Bengali Cuisine.

Ingredients:
3 egg yolks at room temperature
250 gms mascarpone cheese
180 ml heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp Kahlua coffee liquor
6 tbsp sugar
1 cup dark espresso coffee
1 packet of Savoiardi or about 24 lady finger
coco powder for garnishing




Procedure:
  • Beat the egg yolks and sugar until light in color for about 2 to 3 mins.
  • Over double boiler cook the egg yolks continuously stirring for about 3 to 4 mins.
  • Remove from double boiler and put the vessel in cold water immediately.
  • Beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form, keep aside.
  • Fold in the mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk mixture and mix well.
  • Now add in the whipped cream and fold in gently.
  • Add the kahlua liquor into the espresso and mix well.
  • Dip the savioardi into coffee mixture and line them on the serving plate or individual dessert bowls.
  • Add in a layer of mascarpone mixture and repeat the process.
  • Cover the serving dish or individual bowls with foil paper and refrigerate over night (Very IMP).
  • To serve, sprinkle generous amount of coco powder over the set tiramisu...enjoy this dish chilled.
