Easy tiramisu

Just picked it up again, just put it here in case I lost the recipe

For 500g mascarpone cheese

Step 1: Make the coffee, better to use more concentrated, like espresso 2 cups, or sth darker. put it aside let it cool

Step 2: separate 3 eggs, whip the egg whites, (if you dont want to judge by putting it on top of your head, just use a mixer at max speed to whip it for 2 mins, and the mid speed for 30 sec, that's probably right and it never went wrong )

Step 3: for the yolks, add 5 table spoons of sugar and whip it in another bowl until creamy, FOLD cheese into it, fold means using a spatula but not the mixer.

Step 4: add vanilla(extract or the real thing, depends how rich you are), about a tea spoon, and then fold the egg whites into the mixture.

Step 5: add 4 tea spoons of rum +1 tea spoon of almond extract to the coffee. (i mistakenly put table spoons of them...we will see how its go tmr)

Step 6: soak sponge fingers into coffee,(less than a sec will do), and then fill the bottom of your tray. Pour cheese onto it, make it flat, sponge fingers again....then cheese again.

Then put the whole thing in the fridge and just sieve some chocolate powder when serving. 

WARNING : RAW EGG in it so finish it ASAP.

HOW TO IMPROVE:

adding fruit? i saw some of them put chopped berries on it but i don think this is an good idea. May be, just may be we could try to create some with fruit flavoured. (possible with strawberries)

the choice of coffee, darker coffee probably better, so French roast? donno will try it next time.
