Early of the year I made a challenge with myself, to make The Tiramisu before the year is up. Finally, I did it yesterday. It's so super duper delicious, if I may say so... 
.
I thought it's going to be so complicated but actually it's so easy to make. Well, at least this recipe that I found from my Good Housekeeping cookbook, is very easy. My son's feedback, 'mom, this tastes like the professionals made it'. Thank you, son. Looks like mom can make this again. heehhee..
Since we have homemade pizza for dinner (well, half homemade - I bought the pizza bread), decided to go Italian all the way...hence the Tiramisu. This is a very rich dessert. It's creamy with mascarpone cheese and whipping cream. That's why its so good...hmm..gotta to take a break now to have a piece of the Tiramisu..simply irresistible. Will be right back!
Okay, I'm back. Happy and satisfied.
Here's the recipe.
1/4 cup hot espresso or very strong brewed coffee
3 tbsp brandy
2 tbsp plus 1/2 cup sugar
18 crisp Italian ladyfingers
1/3 cup milk
1 container (500g) mascarpone cheese
3/4 cup heavy or whipping cream
unsweetened cocoa powder
1. In a plate, stir coffee, brandy and 2 tbsp sugar until sugar dissolved; cool to room temperature. Dip both sides of 9 lady fingers into coffee mixture, one at a time, to soak and arrange in single layer in 8 inch square baking dish.
2. In large bowl, stir milk and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until sugar has dissolved. Stir in mascarpone until blended.
3. In small bowl, with electric mixer at high speed, beat cream until soft peaks form. With rubber spatula, gently fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture until blended. Spread half of mixture over ladyfingers in baking dish.
4. Dip remaining ladyfingers into coffee mixture and arrange on top of mascarpone mixture. Spread with remaining mascarpone mixture. Refrigerate 3 hours or up to overnight.
5. Just before serving, dust with cocoa powder.
Here's the pizza, Pizza Margherita. Not gonna post the recipe since I had done so in one of my very early posts.
