Tiramisu

Tiramisu is an authentic coffee-flavoured Italian dessert. When literally translated it means “cheer me up” or to put it in a better way “make me happier”, and this will indeed be your best ever dessert. In the classical recipe they use ladyfingers dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar and mascarpone cheese, flavoured with cocoa. Since these are classic ingredients which are not easily available in India, am going to give it an Indian twist making it more desirous for the Indian palate.

This dessert has got 4 components. Starting with the vanilla sponge layer at the base, followed by coffee cream then orange jelly and finally garnished with cinnamon and honey flavoured custard on top. I have served this in edible chocolate bowl infusing the rich cocoa flavor also in this dessert. All the flavours bust in your mouth giving you a heavenly taste and that’s exactly what makes this dessert so special.

Unlike my other recipes, I am not going to tell you this is an easy one because it requires a lot more time and patience as compared to all the desserts I have made till date. But trust me! it’s worth all the pain. You just can’t go wrong when you have got a perfect tiramisu on the table. It’s simply awesome. You only need few key essentials to get one of the most popular Italian desserts right.

   

If I start enlisting how to make each component this is going to be never ending post. So to make things simpler, I have written separately how to make each component elaborately. Refer to the links given below to it perfectly.

you can also get outside cake to make things simpler. cut it in small cubes. It makes perfect sponge base. brush it with coffee liquor on top.

For coffee flavoured cream- https://badcafechefs.blogspot.in/2016/10/coffee-flavored-whipped-cream.html

Put cream on top of the sponge base. This forms your second layer of the dessert, from the base.

For orange jelly https://badcafechefs.blogspot.in/2016/10/orange-jelly-with-whipped-cream.html

skip the cream and cut in small squares for this dessert. put it on top of the cream making the third layer.

And finally for cinnamon and honey flavoured custard- https://badcafechefs.blogspot.in/2016/10/cinnamon-and-honey-flavoured-custard.html

the top layer consists of custard cream.
