Tiramisu For my Birthday

Cooking on my bday? I chose something unbaked for my day.

I remember mba Ienas Tsuroiya Recipe. I've been using this recipe for many times.

It's good.... I changed rum into coffee liquor (Kahlua). I made two batches, one is in pyrex 13", and the other is in spring form pan.

Indonesian version for this recipe is HERE ( Tsuroiya.multiply.com : recipe without gelatin).

Here is my modification by adding gelatin to make it firm in my spring form pan.

INGREDIENTS:

6 egg yolks

1 cup sugar

16 Oz mascarpone cheese

1 envelope of gelatin, dissolve with small amount of water.

1 1/2 cup whipping cream

Rum/Kahlua

24 Lady finger

1 cup chocolate chips

1 cup thick coffee ( mine : 1/2 thick coffee, 1/2 Kahlua)

Dutch Processed Choco Powder

METHODS

1. Mix hot coffee and chocolate chips, when it is cool enough, add the liquor, set aside. We will use this for soaking our lady finger.

2. Beat egg yolks and sugar, continue beat them on double boiler ( in case we are afraid of raw eggs). Beat until the mixture's color is pale. Add the rum/Kahlua ( about 2 tbsp or more up to your taste buds). Add Mascarpone cheese and dissolved gelatine, beat until well mixed.

3. In other bowl, whipped the cream until soft peak.

4. Put no.3 into no.2 , whipped just until it mixed well...do not over beat..

5. Soak lady finger to no.1, arrange on the bottom of the pyrex. Pour out no. 4 as the second layer. Repeat this step to make 2 layer of lady finger and 2 layer of mascarpone mixture.

6. Let it set overnight or at least 8 hour in the refrigerator.

7. Before enjoying your tiramisu, shift choco powder on top of your tiramisu.
