Tiramisu

This entry is from Zhu_Zhu...
This was the first ever sweet treat that I've learnt...about 6 yrs ago...

This recipe is a sure keeper as its one of the simplest cake
or rather dessert to make..Its most suitable when you are
very tired or busy but still want to make somthing to wow
your frens or guests...

It will take you only at most 20 to 30 mins to prepare
and its non-bake!! But it is a rather expensive treat as the
cheese to use will cost u about $14 bucks!!





Ingredients:

6-8 medium egg yolks
8 tbsp icing sugar
1tsp vanilla essence
1 big tub marscapone cheese
(available from Cold Storage or Phoon Huat(cheaper by $1)
2 packets of sponge fingers
(available from Cold Storage(cheaper) or Phoon Huat)
1 big bowl of black coffee (kopi-o)
2 capfuls of Bailey's or vodka or khalua
Cocoa powder

1) Cream egg yolks and icing sugar until mixture turns pale yellow.
2) Add in marscapone cheese. Combine and blend till smooth.
3) Add in vanilla essence. Put in fridge to chill.
4) Meanwhile, prepare black coffee and add in Bailey's.
5) Dip sponge fingers in black coffee and lay them in a small container.
6) Add the cream mixture on top of the sponge fingers.
7) Sift cocoa powder on top of the cheese mixture.
8) Repeat step 5 to 7 for second layer.
