What exactly is Tiramisu?

Tiramisu is the cool, older Italian cousin of an icebox cake in the United States. They're both layered cookie desserts with a light creamy filling.

Tiramisu, on the other hand, has a few distinguishing characteristics that set it apart. The filling begins with zabaglione, which is egg yolks whisked with sugar and marsala wine (or rum, in our case) over a double boiler until light, pale, and foamy. The flavor of the dish is established by this zabaglione.

The key to this super-quick Italian dessert is condensed milk. Coffee and chocolate are a timeless combination; simply layer them and enjoy.

Ingredients for Tiramisu:

3 tsp instant coffee granules
3 tbsp coffee liqueur (or Camp Chicory & Coffee Essence)
250g tub mascarpone
85g condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
4-6 sponge fingers
1 tbsp cocoa powder

STEP 1: In a large jug, blend the coffee granules with 2 tbsp boiling water and whisk to incorporate. Pour with 75ml cold water and the coffee liqueur. Put the mixture in a shallow dish and leave aside.

STEP 2: To make the cream layer, use an electric mixer to combine the mascarpone, condensed milk, and vanilla extract until thick and smooth.

STEP 3: Cut the sponge fingers into two or three pieces and soak for a few seconds in the coffee liquid. Place a few pieces of sponge in the bottoms of two wine or sundae glasses, then cover with the cream. Sift in the cocoa and set aside for at least 1 hour before serving.

Recipe Tips:

USE OF SPONGE FINGERS:

Sponge fingers are also an excellent basis for trifles. To make a fast variation, pour a little syrup from any canned fruit over the fingers, then top with cream and the fruit from the can.
