The most delicious No Bake Cake you ever tasted!

This is my all time favourite version of this traditional Italian dessert. It is time consuming but worth every minute you have to wait for it to be ready!

Tiramisu





 

Ingredients:

3 egg yolks
2 Tbsps of sugar
2 Tbsps of orange flavoured liqueur *(you can use amaretto if you prefer)
2 Tbsps of triple sec
2 Tbsps of Kahlua
1 Tbsps of marsala wine
8 ounces of Italian marscapone cheese *(you can use cream cheese if you prefer)
1 cup of whipping cream
2-4 Tbsps of strong coffee *(you can use espresso)
12-20 ladyfingers *(We used Milano brand)
2 ounces good chocolate (90% cacao), grated


Directions:

Beat egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow. Best to use a food processor if you have one. This will take a few minutes. Slowly whisk in 1 Tbsp of liquer and Marsala wine.
Fold Marscapone cheese into the egg mixture until light and fluffy. Fold in whipped cream gently and set aside.

Combine coffee and remaining liqueur in pie dish or baking dish. Dip ladyfingers in to lightly coat and layer at the bottom of the serving dish (we used a pie dish) and line the sides of the dish with the cookies. DO NOT SOAK THE COOKIES!

Spoon half of the cream mixture over the ladyfingers and sprinkle with chocolate.

Repeat with lady fingers and top with remaining cream mixture.

Complete with the remaining chocolate.

Refridgerate for 4 hours or overnight.  24 hours is ideal as it completely softens the cookie into a cake form.

This delicious dish serves 8 people.
