tiramisu

Must be something about the season, either that or something's in the air -- two of my flickr friends have posted pictures of tiramisu and I viewed them the day I made some for my mother-in-law's birthday! I'm a coffee lover so this is one of my favorite desserts.

The more tiramisu, the happier I am... it's my fave dessert :) This looks absolutely scrumptious!

Do you have any secrets to share on how to make a good tiramisu?

chocolate monster mel says:

Thanks Hypnotic Aubergine, Sunshine Hanan and Di! :)

Di, I would have to say -- have everything ready (mise en place :P) and start with room temperature mascarpone so it's easier to make it smooth (no lumps); room temperature espresso for dipping, don't want to burn your fingers. I usually bake sheets of sponge but lack of time had me using store-bought ladyfingers. The sponges, which are more moist, soak up the coffee faster (makes for a more moist cake layer). I could have dipped the ladyfingers in the coffee longer but was afraid of having them disintegrate into the liquid! (This would depend on your preference -- heavily-soaked sponge layer vs. lightly-soaked.)

Wow, so professionally done. Wait, I don't even think professionals could do it as good as you do. BTW, I have yet to post my tiramisu shot from last week.

I love tiramisu. Unfortunately, my husband doesn't like coffee and I can't really bear to eat the whole thing myself!

Is it white chocolate on top?
Posted 44 months ago. ( permalink )

chocolate monster mel says:

Dani, yes that's white chocolate :) Sandcastles, any ladyfinger recipe would suffice, just spread onto an adequate sheetpan :)
