Tiramisu

This is dish tougher than I thought. Key to any dish is the quality of ingredients.

Ingredients:
Lady Fingers-2 packets
Expresso-8 shots
Mascarpone Cheese-750gms
Sugar(I used caster sugar)-1 cup
Whipping cream-500 ml
Eggs-6
Cocoa powder/Chocolate shavings

Recipe:
Separate Egg Yolks
Add 1/2 of sugar.
Beat them.
Add some kahlua.

The cream:
You have cook this mixture in double boiler. I dont have a double boiler, so I boiled water in a wok, held the vessel on the boiling water and cooked it for 6-7 minutes.
Beat the whipping cream and rest of the sugar till it forms peaks.
In another vessel(Yes, dish washing after this is uber painful) mix mascarpone cheese and the cooked mixture. Add whipped cream fold it in. Mix everything with a whisk till the mixture becomes fluffy.

Assembly:
Dip lady fingers in the expresso and place them in a flat dish. Form a layer of Lady's fingers.
Over this layer, pour the half of prepared cream and spread it.
Sprinkle cocoa powder or chocolate shavings.
Repeat the above 3 steps.
Cover and chill it in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours.

You will have a delicious tiramisu.
