dimanche, juillet 03, 2005 Tiramisu: for Ms Rachel "I am a girl, of COURSE I can cook" Gan TIRAMISU RECIPEIngredients To make the white part: 4 eggs (5 eggs if you get the smaller sized ones) 150g sugar 450g mascarpone cheese (Cold Storage will have, dunno about NTUC/Shop n Save. You should leave this out to soften before starting) 3/4 cup cream (whip it yourself, it's cheaper) To make the sponge-cake-coffee-rum layer: instant coffee (I like Indocafe) 3 tbsp liquer (like dark rum, cointreau, even baileys) sponge cake (as much or as little as you like) OR crushed digestive biscuits (my personal favourite) For the top: Cocoa powder (DON'T CHEAT AND USE MILO!!!) Others: Patience Time Water Mixing machine (or at least, an egg whisker) Mixing bowls Pretty pretty glass serving bowls/cups. Steps: 01) Separate the egg yolk and white. (If you cannot do this, I suggest don't try to continue.) 02) Mix the egg yolks and sugar until you get a creamy mixture (A). 03) Use the mixer to mash the mascarpone cheese into some sort of mixture, then add in the egg yolks and sugar mixture slowly. Mix well. 04) Beat egg whites until the mixture is stiff, with a lot of tiny bubbles. 05) Whip the cream. 06) Mix cream with egg whites (B). 07) Mix both (A) and (B) together. 08) Now you have the cream layers! Yay. Next, you'll want to make the coffee-liquer layer. 09) Make the coffee. 10) Mix coffee with the liquer. If you don't like liquer, you can totally omit the liquer. 11) Yay! Now you can start making the tiramisu for real. 12) Pick up your pretty glass serving bowl. 13) Scoop a little or a lot of cream into the bowl. Use your spoon and make it level. 14) Take a slice of sponge cake (or sprinkle a thick layer of digestive biscuits) and layer it on top of the cream. 15) Splash the coffee-liquer on the sponge cake. Not too much, just enough to soak the sponge. (If you keep adding the coffee, it will eventually soak through the cream and end up at the bottom of the bowl. Which can be a nice end-touch. Or not. You decide. I quite like ending with coffee-liquer when I eat.) 16) Continue until you have no more space in the bowl. 17) Refrigerate! At least 2-3 hours! (This means cannot last-minute make before party... unless you plan to have 2-3 hours of activity before serving dessert.) 18) Sprinkle the cocoa powder just before you serve. Taa-daa! Of course, there's a shortcut: go out and buy. [Tiramisu: for Ms Rachel "I am a girl, of COURSE I can cook" Gan] |
