Tiramisu

Tiramisu

Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Serves: 4

1. 250 gms of Italian Mascarpone cheese
2. 250 ml of double cream
3. 1 tsp vanilla essence
4. 2 tbsp caster sugar
5. 2 cups of coffee (completely cool)
6. 20 ml of rum
7. 200 gms of lady fingers (sponge fingers)
8. 1 egg yolk

Whisk the double cream and sugar in a bowl and keep it in the fridge

In a large bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese, vanilla essence and the egg yolk until the mixture is light and fluffy (like buttercream). Now carefully fold the double cream with the mascarpone mixture.

For the layering

In a shallow bowl,add the rum in the coffee. Dip one sponge finger at a time until it’s nicely soaked and line the bottom of a square dish. Once the bottom is covered with the sponge fingers, layer 1/2 the mascarpone mixture so the sponge fingers are evenly covered. Repeat with another layer of sponge fingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture. Dust with cocoa powder.

Cover with a cling film and let it set in the fridge for approximately 4-6 hours and serve
