The luckiest thing about making pastry at home is the appearance of tiramisu. Because of this popular dessert, those top flavors that were once superb and unreplicated have really entered the homes of ordinary people.
Tiramisu is now known to everyone. More than a decade ago, it was an expensive pastry that only a few high-end western restaurants could serve in China, and only a few people could taste it. Fortunately, the production of tiramisu is actually very simple, as long as you have all the ingredients needed to make it, you can easily replicate its deliciousness. Fortunately, the most important ingredient of tiramisu-mascarpone
Cheese is already available in many cities. As a result, this once noble dessert can finally put down and come to the hands of ordinary baking lovers.
To ensure that the tiramisu you make has the same top quality as in expensive western restaurants, mascarpone cheese is essential. In addition, traditional tiramisu also needs to use finger biscuits (ladyfinger). Coffee wine. There is a saying that these three ingredients are indispensable, but if you use sponge cake instead of finger biscuits, and use rum and espresso instead of coffee wine, the effect on the taste of tiramisu is not significant. Only if mascarpone cheese is missing, tiramisu will lose its most unique charm.
Mascarpone cheese can be replaced with cream cheese, according to the instructions in my previous blog post on the soft-body version of tiramisu. But this is just as I can’t buy mascarpone
A stopgap measure for cheese. Many pastry shops and cafes outside, in order to save costs, will also use cream cheese instead of mascarponecheese, which is one of the reasons why most tiramisu flavors we eat now are no longer authentic.
There are many recipes for tiramisu, as long as the ingredients are ready, the taste will not be bad. The most traditional tiramisu is without gelatine slices, and the texture is very soft, so it is often served in glass containers (such as glass wine glasses) and eaten with a spoon. In order to make tiramisu that can be cut into pieces in a cake shape, gelatin slices are added to many recipes, such as the recipe introduced today. OK, after all the nonsense, let's take a look at the production process. I haven't made tiramisu before, so I must try it.

Tips:

1. Different brands of gelatine slices may have different weights. If your gelatine slices are only 2.5-3 grams per slice, you need to use 3-4 slices to ensure that the cheese paste solidifies smoothly. Gelatine tablets need to be soaked in water in advance to soften, then drained and melted. When dissolving the gelatine tablets in water, the temperature should not be too high, otherwise it will affect the coagulation effect of the gelatine tablets;
2. If you don't want to make your own espresso, you can use 1/2 tablespoon of pure instant coffee powder mixed with 40ml hot water instead. The taste of espresso is very strong. If you are not used to espresso, you can dilute it appropriately;
3. When unmolding, wrap around the cake mold with a hot towel, cover it, and let the cheese paste sticking to the cake mold melt a little, and it will be easy to unmold;
4. It is best to sprinkle cocoa powder before eating to prevent the cocoa powder from getting wet. In addition to sprinkling cocoa powder on the surface, you can also use powdered sugar to sprinkle writing or patterns, which is more beautiful (the powdered sugar sieve with a hollow pattern can be purchased on Taobao)
5. Tiramisu needs to be kept refrigerated and consumed as soon as possible. If you want to extend the shelf life, you can put it in the frozen layer and freeze hard. Before eating, transfer to the refrigerated layer in advance and wait for it to thaw naturally before eating.
