Simple Tiramisu Recipe Made Easy

Tiramisu sounds Japanese to me. It is actually an Italian dessert, no bake, only need a functioning refrigerator. Yes, it's creamy and taste .... hmmm .... wonderful. This home-made Tiramisu for Sunny's birthday has acquired the taste; but for me it is still a little bit too soft. Anyway maybe you will like it. :D

These are the ingredients needed : Lady Finger's Biscuits (For those in Simferopol, you can get it in Metro)

Mascarpone can be bought in Furshet/Metro, about uah50 (250g) or uah90 (500g)

Ingredients :
3 egg yolks
3 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoon Baileys Irish Cream

250ml (more less) Coffee (Espresso preferable, as thick and strong as you wished)
3 tablespoon Baileys Irish Cream

*May add some sugar into the coffee (I used 3-5 teaspoon sugar)*

250g Mascarpone Cheese
3 tablespoon coffee (strong and thick is preferable)

250g Whipping cream

Lady Finger's biscuits
Cocoa Powder

Method :
1. Over the heat, with double boiling method, melt the sugar in the yolks and Baileys. At the same time whisk it till frothy (as shown below).
2. Remove (1) from heat and leave to cool.
3. Whisk the whipping cream till soft peak is formed (as picture below) with an electrical mixer, leave aside.4. Add Mascarpone cheese and 3 tablespoon of coffee into (1), whisk till no lump is formed.
5. Fold in 1/2 of the Mascarpone mixture (as picture below) into the whipping cream and then continue with the next 1/2.6. Gently dip the surface of Lady Finger's Biscuit with the coffee (NOT TO SOAK!!!) and cover them at the bottom of the cake tray.
7. Pour 1/2 of (5) onto the coffee-dipped biscuits.
8. Continue the 2nd layer of coffee-dipped Lady Finger's biscuits and place them on the creamy mixture.
9. Pour the balanced 1/2 of mixture on the 2nd layer of biscuits.
10. Sift cocoa powder on the surface of the cake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (I did it overnight).
11. Spoon to serve.

P/S:
~ You may sift additional cocoa powder on the cake before serving.
~ DON'T remove the side of the springform pan, as it is still rather watery.
~ Substitutions for Baileys --- rum essence(only few drops is required!)/Kahlua/Marsala
