Tiramisu Recipe

This recipe was given to me by my sister-in laws mother and I made it at least 3-4 times; it always finished the night I served it (which is usually a good sign).

 Ingredients

  •  6 tablespoons of instant espresso powder OR strong coffee
  • 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ to 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tub mascarpone cheese
  • 1 to 2 packages Italian lady fingers

 Method

  1. Take 6 tablespoon espresso and 2 tablespoon cocoa powder in 2 cups of boiled water – whisk till it all dissolves – mix it well so you do not see any powder.
  2. Separately, whip the heavy cream, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and ¼ cup plus a little more sugar together until it gets thick.
  3. If you have a beater, then beat the mascarpone cheese with a spatial until soft.
  4. Combine the whipped cream and the mascarpone cheese together.
  5. Soak some lady fingers in the espresso mixture and arranged in one layer at the bottom of a serving bowl.
  6. Take one lady finger at a time and don’t dip it for too long or else they will break. You take one, dip it and place in the serving bowl.
  7. Serving bowl should be rectangular and not too big. So put a layer of lady fingers, and then a layer of mascarpone mixture.
  8. Repeat another layer of the lady fingers and then the cream.
  9. When all complete, just dust the 2 tablespoon cocoa powder on the top and chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
  10. Don’t worry about perfecting the dusting, when you put it in the fridge for a while, it creates a tiramisu shape by itself so you don’t have to worry about that.

 Let me know how it goes for you all.

Guacamole is yummm

I learnt a new recipe last month, and my husband and I have been making it every weekend and eating it while watching movies. So here it is:

 Ingredients:
– 2 Avocados peeled (make sure it was in room temperature or else it wont blend well enough)

– 1 small tomato chopped (smaller the pieces, the better it blends)

– ½ onion chopped (smaller the pieces, the better it blends)

– 1 tsp salt

– 1 pinch of pepper

– 1 pinch of cumin powder or seeds

– ½ a lime squeezed, can go up to 1 full lime if you want

Mix it all well and ta-da its ready. Serve it with tortillas.

It is so easy to make and is really filling. Let me know how yours turn out!
