Tiramisu

Overview

Tiramisu, take me away Tiramisu (Tiramisu) is a classic Italian dessert. It is said that after eating delicious Tiramisu, you will be so happy that you will feel like you are in wonderland. According to Italian legend, Tiramisu originated before a soldier went to the battlefield. Because his anxious lover did not have time to bake an exquisite cake, he had to mix eggs, cocoa powder cake sticks in a hurry to make a crude and quick snack, and then delivered it to the soldier's hands sweating profusely. Although she handed over the food with beads of sweat and tears, it was simple, but sweet and fragrant, and full of deep love. So one of the meanings of tiramisu is remember me. Shen Hongfei praised in "Dessert" that it uses the bitterness of espresso, the moistness of eggs and sugar, the mellowness of liqueur, the richness of chocolate, the denseness of finger biscuits, the thick aroma of cheese and fresh cream, and the dryness of cocoa powder. I used Teacher Jun's recipe and adjusted the order based on the steps I made many times.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Soak 8g or 10g gelatine sheets in cold water. I use 8g to eat at home, but it is more stable to use 10g as a gift when the weather is hot.

   

2. 2 The authentic tiramisu liquid is: 40ml of Italian espresso and 15ml of rum mixed into coffee wine or use ready-made coffee wine in the baking supplies store. I tried to save time by adding half a pack of instant coffee and 40ml of boiling water, then added 15ml of rum and let it cool for later use.

   

3. 3 Beat 2 egg yolks until thick.

   

4. 4 Add 75g sugar to 75g water and cook in a small pot until saccharified and boiling.

   

5. 5 With one hand, slowly add the sugar water to the egg yolks little by little. At the same time, turn the electric egg beater on high speed to beat. Note: Do not pour sugar water on the whisk. When all the sugar water is added, continue beating with a whisk for 5 to 10 minutes. At this time, the temperature of the egg sugar liquid will drop to the temperature of the palm of your hand, set it aside for later use.

   

6. 6 Soak soft gelatine sheets, heat them over water until dissolved or place them in the microwave for a bite (the time is more than 10 seconds). While the gelatine is melting, whip up the mascarpone.

   

7. 7 Beat 250g mascarpone (take it out from the refrigerator in advance in winter) with a whisk until smooth.

   

8. 8 First pour the melted gelatine liquid into the egg yolk liquid and beat evenly. Then stir the egg yolk liquid and mascarpone evenly, and sift it if you want a delicate taste. Reminder: When the temperature is low, the gelatine will clump, which will affect the taste, so it needs to be sieved.

   

9. 9 Whip 150 grams of light cream until it is 6 portions, that is, the cream has just appeared lines but can flow. Be careful not to overdo it.

   

10. 10 Fold the whipped cream and mascarpone paste evenly with a spatula (you can also use an electric mixer at low speed to mix).

    

11. 11 Dip finger biscuits in coffee liquid and place into a six-inch round mold. Spread a full layer, then pour in half of the mascarpone paste. Spread another layer of finger biscuits dipped in coffee liquid. Pour in remaining mascarpone paste.

    

12. 12 Smooth the surface with a spatula and refrigerate for about 4 hours.

    

13. 13 Cover the refrigerated cake lightly with a warm towel, place it on an object higher than the cake, and hold the edge of the cake mold downward to remove the film. Sift a layer of cocoa powder through a flour sieve.

    

14. 14 If you want to look more attractive, you can make a circle of finger biscuits and tie it with a ribbon. You can also sift the powdered sugar pattern with empty pictures on the surface. (Circles with biscuits look good but don’t taste good. Every time I take a photo and remove the biscuits😊😊)

    

15. 15 Knife skills are not good.
