TIRAMISU

Tiramisu is a Italian classic cake that doesn't require baking. It's extremely fluffy thanks to the mascarpone cheese and whipping cream. The two layers of ladyfingers biscuits are soaked in coffee and Amaretto which give this cake a kick. Tiramisu means " lift me up " and it sure will! :)

Ingredients :

• 500 g mascarpone cheese
• 500 ml whipping cream
• 3 eggs
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp strong instant coffee
• 1 cup hot water
• 2 tbsp Amaretto
• 300 g ladyfingers biscuits
• 70 g cocoa powder

Place the whipping cream in a freezer to chill well before using.

Add the coffee to the hot water and mix till disolved. Add the Amaretto and let it cool completley.

Place a bowl over a pot with simmering water (make sure the water is not touching the bowl). Place the egg yolks, sugar and honey in the bowl and whisk for 5 minutes. Put the bowl aside and let it cool completley.

When the egg yolk mixture is cooled, add the mascarpone cheese and fold in gently using a spatula. Next beat the egg whites till stiff and fold in the mixture. Whip the cooled whipping cream till stiff and fold in with the mixture (take your time and fold very gently).

Place one layer of ladyfingers on the bottom of a rectangular dish, and soak them with half of the coffee mixture. Add half of the mascarpone cheese mixture on top and spread evenly. Use half of the cocoa powder to sieve evenly on top. Repeat the proces one more time to make a second layer.

Refrigerate the Tiramisu over night or at least 6 hours.

Such an easy and satisfying cake! Tastes best with a cup of coffee on the side ;)
