Tiramisu

I first heard of tiramisu when I as living in London with 3 other Malaysian girls. One of my housemates made this Italian dessert and I fell in love with it. The original recipe for tiramisu includes rum as one of its ingredients but we've omitted it, of course, to make it Halal for Muslims. So try it out...

Ingredients:

2 packets sponge fingers
1 egg white
500g Mascarpone cheese
5ml double cream
sugar to taste
coffee

Method:

Make some espresso coffee (just enough to dip all the sponge fingers in) and set aside.

Whip the egg white until you get soft peaks. Then whip in the Mascarpone cheese and double cream. Also add sugar to taste and mix all until well blended.

Layer the dish with sponge fingers dipped in the espresso coffee. Then layer half of the cheese mixture on top of the sponge fingers.

Repeat another layer of espresso dipped sponge fingers and finish with the leftover of cheese mixture.

Sprinkle some cocoa powder and leave to chill in the fridge.

Note: Best made at least 2-3 hours before serving.
