Eggless Tiramisu

I made this as a dessert for a dinner with an Italian theme. The recipe was from NCC but I omit the egg because somehow I still can’t imagine myself eating raw egg :s But it turned out beautifully so don’t hesitate to try.

Recipe makes 1 square pan of 24×20 cm

Ingredients:
– 250gr mascarpone cheese
– 300ml whipping cream
– 100gr fine (powder) sugar
– 1/2 tsp vanilla essence

Other ingredients:
– 1 cup of black coffee (150ml)
– 1 tbs sugar
– 150ml coffee liquor ie: kahlua, tia maria (if you like)
– 20 pcs/1 package lady fingers

Garnish:
– some chocolate powder

How to make:
– Whipped the mascarpone cheese until smooth, set aside.
– Whipped the cream, powder sugar and vanilla essence until stiff and thick.
– Mix together the whipped cream mix and mascarpone cheese, set aside in the fridge so it won’t melt.
– In other bowl, mix the coffee with sugar and coffee liquor (optional), set aside.

Finishing:
– Arrange half of the lady finger in the pan.
– Sprinkle with half of the coffee mixture.
– Pour half of the mascarpone mixture on top of the lady fingers
– Repeat this process one more time.
– Let cool in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
– Before serving it shift cocoa powder on top of the tiramisu with a tea strainer.

Tips:
– To successfully whip the cream, make sure you put the mixing bowl and the beaters in the freezer for minimum 3 hours to make them cold!!
