Latest Obsession

Lately, I've been obsessed with food.. particularly Tiramisu- right after I tasted Shifeng's heavenly Tiramisu! *glee*

And so.. the hunting began.. I started searching for Tiramisu recipes online.. looking out for those which do not include eggs ( I don't wanna eat raw eggs!), checking out cookbooks etc etc and I even went down to the Market Place at Raffles City specially to get ladyfingers for the Tiramisu. However, in the midst of my obsession I had to go away for a while but the thought of my Tiramisu stayed at the back of my mind.. Heehee!

Finally! The end product! Hmm I made a few mistakes here and there and modified the recipe a bit. Overall, it tasted fine, perhaps I should have added more Kahlua to the mixture, made the coffee stronger and not over-soaked the ladyfingers.

Yum Yum! Ingredients:
100g ladyfingers
1/4 cup icing sugar
185ml chilled cream
1/4 cup Kahlua
250g Mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup strong black coffee

Steps:
1. To your own discretion, cut the ladyfingers accordingly to fit the height of the tin. Line the sides with the ladyfingers.
2. Slice the rest of the ladyfingers into half longitudinally.
3. Whip the chilled cream with the icing sugar until the mixture is rather stiff.
4. Add in the Mascarpone cheese and mix further.
5. Add 2 tbsp of Kahlua to the cheese mixture.
6. Mix the rest of the Kahlua with the strong black coffee.
7. Dip the sliced ladyfingers into the coffee mixture and cover the base of the tin with the slightly damp ladyfingers.
8. Pour in half the chesse mixture to cover the ladyfingers.
9. Line another layer of ladyfingers and pour over the rest of the cheese mixture.
10. Chill the Tiramisu in the refrigerator for about 4 hours. Dust cocao powder over it and serve it! =)

Enjoy!
