Tiramisu


Recipe:
4 egg yolks
2 eggs
80g sugar 
20g gelatine
6 tablespoon water
400g whipped cream (I used ready used whipped cream, Cool Whip)
500g Mascarpone Cheese

Notes: 
  • if you whip your own whipped cream, you may use 350 ml of whipping cream and up to 100 g of sugar, otherwise a ready used whipped cream is already sweet.



Coffee:
30 g Coffee powder (I used Luwak powder)
400 g warm water

2 packets of lady fingers cookies

Procedure:
Cheese part:
1. Beat egg yolks, eggs, and sugar on top of a pan of simmering water. Beat until the mixture turn pale yellow in color. Cool it to room temperature.
2. Add mascarpone cheese and mix lightly. Do not overmix.
3. Soak gelatine powder with water then microwave for 20 seconds. Stir it well, and make sure no lumps.
4. Fold in whipped cream, and gelatine mixture. You may use tea filter when you add in the gelatine mixture, in case the mixture has few lumps in it.
  
How to assemble the cake:
1. Arrange lady fingers cookies on 9 inch round baking pan. 
2. Pour coffee mixture on the cookies (use tablespoon, and do it slowly (one tablespoon at a time), make sure that you don't wet the cookies too much, else it will be soggy). 
3. Pour in half of the cheese mixture.
4. Arrange lady fingers cookies on top of the cheese layer, and wet the cookies with coffee again.
5. Pour in the remaining half of the cheese mixture.
6. Refrigerate the tiramisu for a night. 
7. Sieve cocoa powder on top of the tiramisu cake, and you may decorate it as well.

This is how it looks like inside.
