MARGGIE DOES IT HER WAY TIRAMISU!

Marggie Does It Her Way Tiramisu!

                                              TIRAMISU. And just what does that mean?  

                                 Tiramisu is the term in Italian for “pick me up,” or “lift me up.” It does me!

                             

                                        

Your hardest mission if you decide to accept it is to get the ingredients! The rest is done easily if you turn on that Italian music. Andrea Bocelli helps me make a fun tiramisu! 

                             

This can be done as a family activity. Children or grandchildren can grate the chocolate and /or whip the cream.  Doggies stand by for a taste!

                                                                                                        

No Eggs, No Cooking! My way. But delicious, or so I’m told by my family and guests! I know I've done something right when they go for a second and third piece. You’ll need:

(The following recipe is for a very large Tiramisu. You can cut the recipe as your need would be).

                                     

3 packages of Lady Fingers Cookies

4 cups heavy whipping cream ( that’s 2 pints or 1 quart)

4 large packages of cream cheese

1 cup espresso coffee

1 cup Kahlua

2 ¼ cup sugar

2 boxes of Baker’s Semi-Sweet Chocolate - You will need all the squares of one box plus 2 or 3 more squares from the second  box, all grated fine.  

Make your espresso coffee and set it aside.  When it cools mix it with the Kahlua. Place this in a bowl into which you will be able to dip the lady fingers.

Soften all your cream cheeses in the microwave or let them stand until soft. Place your cream cheeses in a bowl and mix them together.

In a large, cold bowl, (I place my bowl in the freezer for a few minutes), beat your whipping cream with the sugar until it is thick forming peaks almost like a meringue.

Fold the cream cheese mix into your whipped cream mixture. Set it aside.

In a large glass lasagne pan, (I use a glass one, 15 in. long by 10 in. wide, 2 in. deep), place first a layer of lady fingers which you dip first in your coffee/Kahlua mix. Don’t soak them. Just dip them enough to get some of the mixture into them. Layer a row of Lady Fingers on the bottom of your glass dish/pan, until all the bottom is covered by the Lady Fingers.     

Now scoop out your whipped cream and cream cheese mixture and spread  it over the Lady Fingers.

Then place another layer of Lady Fingers, dipped in the coffee/ Kahlua mix. And then spread another layer of the whipped cream/ cream cheese mix on top of the second layer of Lady Fingers.

Sprinkle your grated chocolate over this, covering all the top of your whipped cream/ cream cheese mix.

Refrigerate overnight. Get ready to be TIRAMISU!  “Lifted UP!”

Would love to know if you tried it. Glad to answer any questions. CIAO! VOLARE, OH OH….

                                                                                       

The patient canine at the end got a taste!

Whip the cream until good and thick.

If you don't have one of these buy espresso coffee and make it in your regular coffee maker.

Dip your Lady Fingers in the coffee and
Kahlua mix. Let them drip a bit before you place them on top of whipped mix.

                  

        

                                                                                                                      

                                                                                                 

The top layer should be the white whipped mix. Ready for your chocolate.

Ready to eat.TIRAMISU!
