Heavenly Tiramisu

My first attempt in making tiramisu.. yummy.. Pictures looks pro! But it taste good too! REally! ;)

Fairly easy to make. So for those who like to give this a try, here's the recipe:

Before you start, chilled your beater and its bowl in the freezer. Also, ensure that the cream and cheese are well chilled.








Ing:
250g cream cheese
400ml whipping cream
1/3 cup icing sugar
1 cup boiling water
2.5 tbsp instant coffee powder
1/2 cup Kahlua
1/3 cup cold water
24 pieces sponge fingers
Cocoa powder for dusting

Steps:
  1. Dissolve the coffee in boiling water and set aside.
  2. Mix the liqueurs with cold water. Pour 2/3 of this mixture into the coffee.
  3. Whip the cream with the icing sugar until stiff.
  4. Cream the cheese until soft. Add in remaining liqueur mixture.
  5. Fold in the cream and mix well.
  6. Line the bottom of a loaf pan ( I used whisky glass too as an individual serve) with the sponge fingers or butter cake.
  7. Soak the cake evenly with half the coffee mixture. Make sure it's not too soak.
  8. Cover the sponge fingers with half the cream mixture.
  9. Arrange another layer of cake on top of the cream mixture and then soak evenly with the remaining coffee mixture.
  10. Cover with remaining cream mixture and smoothen the top evenly.
  11. Chill for at least 4 hours.
  12. Dust cocoa powder over the top of tiramisu before serving.
