Tiramisu


I am a lover of cakes, dessert. I really have to watch my weight....nevertheless, who can resist TIRAMISU.

An Italian dessert - sponge fingers dipped with coffee and liquor layered with mascarpone cheese.

I have put my hands twice on this dessert - Greet Tea Tiramisu and Chocolate Tiramisu. The first time was alright. I wasn't very happy about it. According to the recipe, I am supposed to dip both ends of the sponge fingers into the Green Tea but there wasn't enough of the Green Tea flavour. I will very much prefer it stronger.

The second time, I went all the way out and dipped the whole sponge finger into the Green Tea. It was so, so much better. I liked the bitter taste of the Green Tea and the sweetness of the mascarpone cheese.

When I made the Chocolate Tiramisu, I just dipped the sponge fingers into the chocolate liquor - no need to be conservative about it....
