Simple Classic Tiramisu Recipe
The recipe is adapted from Gennaro Contaldos.
Prep time: 15 mins
Serving: 4
Tools: a medium to large mixing bowl with spatula and a nice bowl to layer all the biscuit
Ingredients:
1- Mascarpone cheese: 250 ml
2- Thickened cream: 200 ml. You can easily buy thickened cream at Coles. The original recipe says double cream. However, when I bought double cream in Australia, the mixture wasn’t smooth as expected. So I replaced double cream with thickened cream instead and the mixture turned out amazing. I reduced it to 200 ml so that the mixture isn’t that runny. Feel fee to adjust anyway! :)
3- Egg yolk: 1
4- Caster Sugar: 2 tbsp
5- Vanilla pod: 1 . Scoop all the tiny black seeds from the vanilla pod
6- Espresso coffee : 200 ml
7- Coffee Liqueur (Kahlua): 3 tbsp . Yes, I love liqueur so I increased it by 1 tbsp from the original recipe :D
8- Savoiardi Biscuits : 12
9- Cocoa Powder for dusting
Process:
1- Dissolve the espresso coffee into 200 ml water. Make sure the mixture is cool before adding coffee liqueur, and set aside for dipping the biscuits later
2- In a separate medium — large bowl, whisk mascarpone cheese, thickened cream, egg yolk, sugar and vanilla seeds together until all well mixed. The mixture needs to be smooth then set aside
3- Layering:
- Dip the biscuits in the coffee & liqueur mix and layer one by one into the bowl you have already prepared
- Pour over the creamy mixture (in step 2) and spread evenly all over
- Depending on the size of your bowl, you can consider having another layer of biscuits and cream. Either going for 1 or 2 layers, finishing off with the cream layer
- Dusting with cocoa power. You should use sifter so that the cocoa powder decoration will look smooth and nice
- Now we have it. Classic Tiramisu in 15 mins. You can eat it immediately or store in the fridge to have it set completely
Enjoy! #tiramisulovers
