Tiramisu 提拉米苏

I wonder why I have so many November-baby friends! 7th November is my very-very-good friend's birthday, I made a Tiramisu for her ^^


Tiramisu means "pick me up" in Italian. I heard different stories about the origin of Tiramisu, but the one I like the most is this >> An Italian soldier was about to join the military to fight for the war. His wife felt really upset, and hence before he left, used the ingredients available in the kitchen to made a "Tiramisu" cake for him, literally means "bring me along with you". Isn't this a very romantic dessert? =)


My friends think that the cake was pretty nice~but what they don't know is...HOW EASY is it to make this cake! Keke~I got this recipe from Kraft Website: http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/fast-easy-tiramisu-52890.aspx, and made a little bit of adjustment. Trust me it's really easy, try this at home!


Ingredients: 1 tablespoon of instant coffee powder, 1/2 cup hot water, 1 sponge cake, 2 packages of   Philadelphia Cream Cheese (250g each), 1/2 cup sugar, 7 cups of Whipped Dairy Cream, cocoa powder


Method: 1. Cut the sponge cake into pieces (about 1 cm each) and arrange them in a square/ round dish. Dissolve instant coffee in hot water, brush them on the cake.
              2. Put cream cheese under room temperature for it to soften. Then, use electric mixer to beat it until creamy. Add in sugar, continue beating until the texture is smooth.
              3. Whisk in Whipped Dairy Cream manually.
              4. Pour 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture onto the cake in the dish, top with another layer of cake and brush with coffee. Pour in the remaining cream cheese mixture.
              5. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Sprinkle with cocoa powder when serve.

Tips: Manually whisk in the Whipped Dairy Cream will do. Whipped Cream adds to the volume of cake, if overbeat, can "de-aerate" the cake and reduce its volume.

Done and enjoy!


别问我为什么~可是我就是有一大堆朋友在年尾生日,哈哈!十一月七号是我一个很要好的朋友的生日,我做了提拉米苏给她 ^^ 


提拉米苏在意大利文里有“带我走”的意思。我听过好几个有关提拉米苏由来的故事,可是我最愿意相信的是这个〉〉在某次大战时,有个意大利兵要离开家为国服役。他的妻子非常不舍,在他临走前用厨房里剩下的材料做了“提拉米苏”给他,并命名为“带我走”。是不是一道很浪漫的甜点呢? =)


我朋友觉得蛮好吃的~可是他们不知道。。。这蛋糕有多容易做!呵呵呵~被骗啦 XD 我的食谱取自于Kraft Website:http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/fast-easy-tiramisu-52890.aspx, 然后稍做了一些调整。非常简易,欢迎试做!


材料:1 匙咖啡粉,1/2 杯热水,1 盒海绵蛋糕, 2 盒 Philadelphia Cream Cheese (1 盒 250 克), 1/2 杯糖,7 杯 Whipped Dairy Cream, 适量可可粉

做法:1。将海绵蛋糕切片(约 1 公分厚)铺在方形或圆形的器皿里。咖啡粉和热水调匀,刷在蛋
                   糕表层。
            2。待 Cream Cheese 软化,用自动搅拌机搅拌。加入糖,搅至滑顺。
            3。加入 Whipped Dairy Cream,用手搅至均匀。
            4。将 1/2 搅匀的 Cream Cheese 倒入铺了蛋糕的器皿,再铺上一层蛋糕,刷上咖啡。接着
                  倒入剩下的 Cream Cheese。
            5。放入冰箱至少 4 小时。要吃时撒上可可粉。

提示:加入 Whipped Dairy Cream 时用手搅匀即可。Whipped Dairy Cream 有增加蛋糕体积的作用,若过度搅拌会把空气打掉,蛋糕体积会减少。

完成!轻慢享用 ^^
