Last time when I visited Crawford Market I picked up some Italian Savoairdi biscuits/ ladyfingers. I thought I had picked up eggless ones as I had specifically asked for it but they were not. So this dessert was made for those who indulge.
It is the simplest dessert to put together yet very classy. I licked the bowl of mascarpone, shouldn't the maker get something?
I adapted this recipe, to the limits in my kitchen.
Ingredients
500 gms Homemade Mascarpone cheese
12 ladyfingers biscuits
2 tablespoons cooked vanilla custard (replacement for 2 egg yolks)
4 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon instant coffee dissolved in 50 ml water
2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar instead of liqueur
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
dark chocolate shavings
In the food processor bowl add Homemade Mascarpone cheese, the cooked vanilla custard, sugar, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar whip till creamy yet stiff.
In a plate mix together instant coffee and water. Soak the ladyfingers in the coffee liquid and place in a bowl. Line six biscuits at the bottom. Scoop out 1/3 of the mascarpone cheese and slather on the bottom layer. Now wet the second set of six biscuits and slather the rest of the mascarpone mix on to it. Chill it overnight for best results.Before serving dust the top with the unsweetened cocoa and garnish with dark chocolate shavings.
This recipe serves 8 small portions or 4 super large ones.
I need a slice of this!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried Tiramisu at home, i must, specially loved the idea of no raw egg in it.
Manasi packed in liquid nitrogen thru fedex? ;) and if you use eggless sponge cake in place of these lady fingers then this is completely eggless. One more dish for your Dad.
