Recipe : Biscuit Based Tiramisu

A couple of days ago my mom made her all time favourite dessert (sort of, everything's her fav as long as it's dessert) which is Tiramisu! This was actually our second attempt, the first one was not a success, it was so good we finished it in one day, so here I am, sharing the recipe for you readers! The process is quite simple actually, but the cost is higher than the ordinary butter/chocolate cakes and cheese cakes.
From left, you'll need rum, ladyfingers, 250g of mascarpone cheese, small box of whipping cream, coffee, and sugar if you want to reduce the bitterness of coffee. The amount is sufficient for a standard rectangular container. 

First, stir the whipping cream using electric mixer for not longer than 2 minutes, until there are lines appear on the surface when you're stirring. And also use only LOW speed, this is really important cause when you overstir it, the mixture tends to separate into liquid and solid form, which you can't use it unless you want to make a lousy tiramisu. When you're done, keep it in the fridge for 2 hours. 

Next, mix the coffee and rum together. The amount depends on the portion you intend to make and the taste you desire. You can add in more coffee if you want a stronger coffee taste, or add sugar if you don't, or you can also increase the amount of rum, you have the power to decide. In our case, we didn't add any sugar in it but we did add more rum cause we planned to add sugar in the mascarpone cheese.

Then, use only a eggbeater to just spread out the mascarpone cheese (the one on the left), the purpose is just to make sure there are no chunks of cheese inside. I personally think it's better to add sugar in here instead of the coffee because the cheese is actually tasteless so it would taste nicer even if you just eat the cheese layer. You can get the whipping cream out of the fridge after 2 hours.

Then, pour them together and mix well, the cream layer is done!

 The following steps are really simple, dip the surface of lady fingers with the coffee and rum mixture for one second per side, make sure both sides are dipped. Don't dip it for too long cause they absorb really fast. 6 pieces are just nice for the container.

Then, spread the cream mixture using spoon, spatula or anything that you feel easy to handle.

Another layer of lady fingers and another layer of cream!

Almost done teehee.

Even enough to make two extra cups for my baby and aunty.

Happy family photo. When everything is done, keep them in the fridge again until the next day, then it's ready to be served with or without chocolate powder. Not so hard afterall right? Hope this recipe is useful for beginner baker like me :)
