Tiramisu, you keep my spirit high 8-)

As i informed to you on my previous blog, the tiramisu is a desert cake from Italy and the amazing thing is no oven needed to make this delicious cake ... blackforest, banana muffin with the walnut is the my favourite but still need oven that I dont have it in my home in SGP.

My friends, here is the famous tiramisu recipe :

Servings: 4
Level of difficulty: Intermediate
Preparation Time: 35 minutes plus 2 hours chilling
Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients main
150ml strong black coffee , chilled
3 tbsp coffee liqueur , such as Tia Maria or Kahlua
200g sponge finger biscuits
75g caster sugar
5 tbsp water
2 egg yolks
250ml double cream
250g mascarpone cheese
unsweetened cocoa powder , to dust

Method

1. Mix the coffee and the coffee liqueur. Place the sponge fingers in a single layer in a shallow dish. Pour over the coffee mixture, turning the fingers a few times to coat, then leave to soak.
2. Put the sugar and water into a small heavy-based saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil, and then simmer until softball stage is reached - 115°C on a sugar thermometer, or until you can knead a soft ball between your finger and thumb (dip ½ teaspoon of syrup into iced water before kneading).
3. Using an electric whisk, beat the egg yolks for 3-5 minutes until very pale and smooth. Gradually add the sugar syrup, and then continue beating until cold.
4. Mix the cream and mascarpone, then add to the egg and sugar mixture whisking thoroughly.
5. Divide half of the mixture evenly between four individual dessert dishes. Add a layer of sponge fingers to each dish and layer with some more of the mascarpone mixture. Put in the fridge to chill for 2 hours.
6. Dust with cocoa powder just before serving.
