Easy Tiramisu
This easy tiramisu is very easy and very tasty. No cooking or baking and only takes ten to fifteen minutes to put together.
Equipment
- a 9x9 inch deep baking pan.
Ingredients
- 2 8 oz. containers whipped cream
- 2 8 oz. containers mascarpone cheese - softened Or if you can't find any mascarpone substitute with cream cheese. It will still taste great.
- 1 appx. 8 oz. package crispy lady fingers not the spongy soft kind
- 1 1/2 cups espresso or you can just get some packets of instant espresso or strong coffee
- 2 tbsp coffee flavored liquor or sambuca optional
- powdered chocolate for dusting
Instructions
- Put the whipped cream in a bowl.Fold in the softened mascarpone cheese (or cream cheese). If your cheese is still cold from the fridge unwrap it and give it about 30 seconds in the microwave to soften it up.
- Put the coffee in a shallow bowl (and the liquor if you are using it). One at a time lay a lady finger in the coffee and quickly turn it over. Don't let it get soggy. Then add it to the pan.
- After you have the first layer of lady fingers in the pan add enough of the cheese and whipped cream mixture to make the first layer and spread it around.
- Repeat the process until you fill up the pan or you run out of stuff. Then with a strainer sprinkle on the powdered chocolate. Sometimes I sprinkle the chocolate on each layer and sometimes I hold back the chocolate for just the topping.
- Into the fridge for 3 - 4 hours. Overnight is best but who could wait that long? When I go to the fridge and there is some Tiramisu in there I can't help myself, I gotta have a spoonful or two. ENJOY!!
