No Bake Tiramisu


It had been a pretty hectic past 2 weeks and with the hubby's birthday fast approaching, I was torn between the convenience of a store bought cake and baking something for him. Homemade won of course, and I decided to make his favourite tiramisu in a tin. 

I have been using this tiramisu recipe on BBC Goodfood, and it is so easy and delicious. I hope you will like it.     


No Bake Tiramisu (adapted from BBC Goodfood)

Ingredients:
600ml heavy or whipping cream (I like to use Bulla as it whips up very easily and holds well)
250g mascarpone cheese, softened
75ml marsala (I use Kahlua, a coffee liquer)
5 tbsp light muscavado sugar or white caster sugar
300ml strong coffee, made with 2 tbsp coffee granules and 300ml boiling water (I use a single shot of Nespresso expresso - Ristretto capsule)
175g pack sponge finger
2 tsp cocoa powder

Method:
  1. Put cream, mascarpone cheese, Marsala (or liquor of your choice) and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk at medium speed until the cream mixture has the consistency of thickly whipped cream.
  2. Layer your serving dish with a single layer of sponge fingers, dip a brush into the coffee and dab it onto the sponge fingers till they are nicely soaked with coffee.
  3. Spread half of your whipped cream mixture over the fingers
  4. Lay a 2nd layer of fingers on top of the whipped cream mixture and repeat step 2 of dabbing coffee onto the sponge fingers
  5. Spread remaining half of the whipped cream mixture on the top and level it nicely.
  6. Cover and chill for a few hours or overnight
  7. Before serving, dust with cocoa powder

Enjoy!
