My Virgin Tiramisu

Inspired by Tiramisu Hero, I decided to make tiramisu for the very first time. I was so excited. I bought the ingredients, a balloon whisk, and stole the boyfriend's stash of rum.

If you don't already know, the boyfriend is extremely fussy with food. "Hmmm... Very good. Just like the ones in Italy. But dear, please don't use 23 year old premium rum, okay? We'll get cheaper rum for tiramisu," he said. HAHAHAHA.  



Tiramisu (serves 6 to 8)

Ingredients
  • 36 pieces ladyfingers  
  • 450g mascarpone cheese
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 1 whipped egg white
  • 150g sugar
  • 12 cups of sugarless coffee
  • Rum liquor  
  • Powdered plain cocoa

Preparation
  1. Whisk the egg white.
  2. Beat the egg yolks separately with sugar in a bowl until a frothy mixture; then stir in the mascarpone cheese and mix carefully.
  3. Add in the egg white and mix well into a smooth cream.
  4. In a baking dish, spread a layer of cream.
  5. Soak the ladyfingers in liquor coffee, on both sides, and line them on top of the cream.
  6. Pour second layer of cream and arrange more coffee-soaked ladyfingers on top.
  7. Top with another layer of cream, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  8. Using a sieve, sprinkle powdered cocoa generously over the cream.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. It's at its best if prepared 1 day in advance.
