Tiramisu

Adapted recipe by Lim H.B.

Cheese part:
Ingredients Quantity
Mascarpone cheese 500g
Whipped cream 250ml
Egg yolks 4 medium sized eggs
White sugar 100g
Marsala Wine 75ml
Rum 30ml

 

Cake part:
Ingredients Quantity
White sponge fingers, OR 20 pcs
  SARA LEE frozen butter pound cake 300g

 

Liqueur Coffee part:
Ingredients Quantity
Strong coffee 250ml
Marsala Wine 100ml
Rum 50ml

Optional:
Cocoa powder, or chocolate shavings

Preparing the ingredients

  1. Mix the ingredients in the Cheese Part together in a blender or whisk them up in a hand whisk. Put the mixture into a jug and chill it while you work on the cake part.  
  2. Cut and place the sponge fingers or pound cake into the container(s) for your tiramisu. [You may serve the tiramisu in little cups or into a casserole, so place your cake on it now. Otherwise it will be impossible to move the tiramisu once the cake is soaked with the liqueur coffee.]
  3. Add the Masala wine, Rum and coffee of the Liqueur Coffee part into a small jug.
  4. Spoon the liqueur coffee onto the cake bits till they are saturated.
  5. Then take the chilled cheese mixture and pour a layer of it over the soaked cake.
  6. Put another layer of cake over it, and spoon the liqueur coffee over it till it is saturated.
  7. And pour the last bit of cheese mix over the soaked cake.
  8. Let the tiramisu set overnight.
  9. Before serving, dust with cocoa powder or use a slicer to shave some chocolate over the cheese layer.

 

[NOTE:
Marsala Wine ought to be fairly fresh, if it's opened for too long, it's not as strong, unless perhaps you have kept it in the fridge all the time.]
