Tiramisu is an extremely popular Italian dessert. Tiramisu cake is made with special lady finger cookies dipped in coffee syrup, which are layered with mascarpone cheese and whipped cream and flavored with cocoa. You can use plain butter cookies in case you do not find lady finger cookies. This cake can also be made in single serving cups. I haven’t used any raw eggs or liquor in this recipe. The great thing about tiramisu is that it is a no bake cake. So you can actually make it at home without an oven. Please do try this recipe and share your valuable comments. Happy cooking, Shuchi

Tips/ Suggestions:

1. I make my mascarpone cheese at home. It is very easy to make mascarpone. Warm 1 cup heavy whipping cream to 200F. Add 2 tsp lemon juice and stir for a couple of minutes. The cream will be a little thicker. Turn off the heat. Let it cool to room temperature. Take a sieve. Put a layer of cheese cloth on sieve. Put sieve on a bowl and transfer the cream on sieve. Let it set in the fridge for at least 15 hours. After 15 hours you will see thick mascarpone cheese. About 2 tbsp whey will separate out from the cream.
2. Make sure that the cream is absolutely chilled before you start whipping it.
3. You can also make individual bowls of tiramisu cakes
4. Just dip the cookies in coffee syrup and immediately take it out and arrange in the dish.
5. You can use some other cookies in case if you do not find lady fingers. Make sure that the cookies you use do not have any flavor. For this recipe any plain cookies will be fine. Do not use glucose biscuits an they get soggy as soon as you dip it in coffee syrup.
6. Make sure that the cream is absolutely chilled before you start whipping it.
