Italian Tiramisu

helooooo everyone.. So yesterday i made a Italian Tiramisu. Honestly it's the first time i make this kind of tiramisu. The usual kind of tiramisu i make is using a chocolate sponge cake with a cappucino touch, but this time i'm using a lady finger sponge and this is how tiramisu supposed to be :D.

Here are what you need :

- 5 egg yolks
- 150g sugar (if you want less sweet, use 120g)
- 450g mascarpone cheese (1 package)
- 16 lady fingers (it depends on how big your lady finger is, mine is quite big)
- coffee (you can add in a Marsala, this is optional)
- unsweetened cocoa powder
- milk chocolate
- strawberries to decorate

first, crack your eggs and separate the yolks and egg whites (don't throw the egg whites, we can use it for macarons :)) and add the sugar

whisk the egg yolks and sugar until it become thick and pale colour

Then put the bowl in the top of the double boiler over the boiling water. reduce heat to low, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. After 10 minutes, you want to let this cool completely before you add in the mascarpone. Don't add in the mascarpone while it's still hot or warm, your mascarpone will melt and your dessert will be ruined. So we want it completely cool.

Add Mascarpone to whipped yolks, and gently fold until combined

Make the espresso by adding 4 tbs of espresso and 1 cup of hot water and let it cool, and prepare you pan (any pan you can use that thick enough to make 3 layer of tiramisu)

Dip in the lady fingers to the espresso mixture just until it get wet (Do not dip them) then place them in the pan

Spoon the mascarpone cream filling on the top dipped lady fingers, and level them. Then place more lady fingers on top of the cream

Repeat this process until you get 3 layers, then refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

Dust them with cocoa powder and chocolate garnish before serving, and add the strawberry for the finishing :)
