This 3 layered cake could be the best cake you will love to make again and again. An Italian origin confection Tiramisù means pick me up. There are many recipe versions of this gourmet delight but the brilliance of Tiramisù is not in the technique of layering, but in the components. The great invention of combining together coffee, zabaglione cream, and chocolate remains the true innovation in Tiramisù.
Ingredients
- 500 ml. mascarpone cheese
- 1 liter whipping cream
- 120 g. sugar
- 4 cups double espresso
- 100 ml. Tia Maria or Kahlua
- 50 ml. artificial vanilla extract
- 2 pounds lady fingers
Directions
Put the mascarpone, the sugar and the cream in a mixing bowl and whip them together to stiff peaks. Cool down the coffee and mix with the liqueur and the vanilla extract. Dip each lady finger in the coffee mixture and arrange them horizontally in a suitable tray. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture on top and continue with the lady fingers but this time vertically. Spread the second half of the mascarpone on top and shave some semi-sweet bakers chocolate over the dessert. Cover the Tiramisu and leave it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours to set before cutting. To make flowers to decorate your cake, just remove about one cup of your frosting and keep it aside. You and use frosting to create whole flowers or just petals using gel colors. |
