Tiramisu cake 意大利芝士蛋糕 (提拉米蘇)

(7x7" square pan)

Step 1: You will need:

• 3 egg yolks
• 100 g sugar ( I use light brown sugar instead)
• 250 g mascarpone cheese
• 400 g cream, whipped
• 250 ml strong espresso, or 3 tsp of strong instant coffee in 250 ml water
• 2 tbsp  KAHLÚA (or other coffee liqueur drink)
• 20 lady fingers
• 50 g cocoa powder

Step 2: Cook the egg yolks

Place a saucepan 1/3 full of water onto the stove and bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, mix together the egg yolks and sugar in a medium bowl. Briefly whip them before placing the bowl over the simmering water. Continue to whip for a few minutes until the eggs are slightly cooked, and it has a smooth, runny consistency.
You can now remove it from the heat. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3: Add the cheese and cream

Next, spoon the mascarpone into a large bowl with your rubber spatula. Add the lightly cooked egg yolks into the mascarpone cheese. Mix together until the cheese is fully incorporated and lump free. Now slowly spoon in the whipped cream and combine it well with your whisk.

Step 4: Build the tiramisu

Start by combining the espresso and the brandy together with a large spoon. Now dip the entire body of lady fingers into the mix. Let them soak and absorb the mixture for a few seconds. Then place the first layer of cake by 10 fingers each horizontally until the first layer filled. Next, pipe over the cream mixture to all sides and between fingers first. Then fill the layer with cream mixture. Use spatula knife to flatten the layer. Again, dip the whole body of the lady fingers into the espresso/brandy mix and place 10 fingers horizontally until the whole layer filled, Finally, pipe over the cream mixture to all sides and between fingers first. Then fill the layer with remaining cream mixture. Again, use spatula knife to flatten the top.

Step 5: Cool & Serve

Place it into the fridge for a few hours to set. Before serving, dust with a little cocoa powder.
