.... as featured on the Bubbly Scrumptious blog :DOk, I have to admit that isn't my perfect tiramisu - my presentation is a little bit less tidy LOL :D
My hubby asked me to make a Tiramisu for him to take in to work because all the other wives/partners are sending in beautifully created home made cakes - I don't bake!!!! LOL :D
This is a really easy cheaty recipe that I think I picked up on a Safeway leaflet many moons ago, which always goes down well at family parties :D
This will make a good family trifle dish sized dessert.
You will need -
1 x 300 ml of double cream
1 x tin of ready made custard (low fat if you want to be good LOL )
1x supermarket size carton of Mascarpone
2x packets of trifle sponges - I prefer the cake type ones rather than the fingers but thats up to you
1/2 pint of strong coffee cooled with a good slug of brandy in ( I use hubbys best Remy LOL)
dark chocolate to decorate
- First make your coffee and brandy so that it has time to cool.
- Cut up the trifle sponges in to small slices
- Put the custard, cream and mascarpone in a bowl and use a whisk to mix well together
- grate, slice or curl your chocolate ready to decorate
- cover the bottom of your bowl with a layer of the sponge and spoon on the coffee
- spoon on a layer of the creamy mix and add a little chocolate if you wish
- continue layering until you run out then decorate with the chocolate
Hope you like it, and don't blame me for the extra inches it might add!!!! LOL
