Eggless Tiramisu
Tiramisu literally means pick me up in Italian. This dessert has become very famous in the past few years. It is made of layers of lady fingers ( sponge fingers) dipped in coffee mixture, mascaporne cheese-egg mixture, finally dusted with cocoa powder.
I happened to try my hands on this one when a friend of mine was coming over from Chennai and requested me to make a tiramisu as that was her favourite. Of course my version is the eggless version. It smells heavenly and will be finished in just one sitting.
Beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Mix the mascarpone, sugar, and vanilla until combined. Add in the whipped cream. Use a rubber spatula and fold the mixture a few times scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl. Then use the electric mixture to beat again until smooth.
Stir the coffee and liquor together. Lightly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture. Do not soak or the cookies will be soggy.
Line an 8×8″ or 9×9″ square baking dish with a layer of cookies.
Spread half of the cream mixture over the cookies. Repeat another layer and chill for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight.
Dust with cocoa powder before serving.
