Steemit Food Challenge #2 | The Tiramisu

On the occasion of this new "FoodChallenge" Italia version, I offer you my Tiramisu!
This is not my favorite desert but that of my wife: I know someone who will be happy coming back!
This recipe is for everyone: simple and quick to do.

We need :

  • 500g de mascarpone
  • 50g icing sugar
  • 5 egg yolks
  • Sponge biscuits
  • 1 cup of cold coffee
  • Cocoa Powder

Step 1: Separate the eggs

Separate the egg yolks and egg whites in two different bowls

In this recipe I will use only the egg yolks. Do not throw the egg whites, you can do something with : I've used to make meringues.

Step 2 : Blanch the egg

Stir in icing sugar into the egg yolks

Mix for a few minutes

Stop when the mixture is white (I use the whisk for this recipe)

Step 3 : Mascarpone, the taste of Italy!

Stir all the mascarpone cream into the egg / sugar mixture

Mix until a smooth dough, without clumping

When finished, put the dish in the fridge

Step 4 : The Biscuits

So for this recipe, I decided to make a round dish but any shape may agree.
Before beginning, I set my sponges biscuits in my dish to see how I would arrange them and so how much it would take me.
For this recipe of the day, I took 24 sponges biscuits

Take each sponges biscuits and soak the coffee

If you like coffee, soak more!!!

Be careful because they may break if it is too "wet"

Step 5 : Fit the 1st floor

Spread sponge biscuits, for they cover the bottom of your dish

Cover all with your cream

Here, the first floor is done!

Step 6 : Mount the 2nd floor

We did the same thing, a sponges biscuits layer

And add the remaining cream on top

Equalize cream, so that the cream goes all over the dish

Step 7 : Cacaco

Grab your cocoa and pour it into a small colander
Stand above your cake, and sprinkle it everywhere

I suggest you take the unsweetened cocoa
Now that the recipe is complete, you must put the dish in the fridge: between 3 and 24 hours. If your cream stays cold for a long time, your cake will stand upright.

My advices, this recipe can be modified by :
- addition of fruit (raspberry, for example)
- replace coffee with chocolate
- you can also add an alcohol which is Amaretto

Come On, Taste It!
