Mini Tiramisu (original Italian recipe)

The secret for a great Tiramisu? I personally believe is in the quality of the ingredients: a good Mascarpone, an Italian coffee blend and possibly home made Savoiardi (ladyfingers) biscuits...

This is how I prepare 4 single portion Tiramisu


My Tiramisu
 
Ingredients:

  • Egg yolk                                                       3 X
  • Sugar                                                          60 gr
  • Mascarpone (any other cheese's FORBIDDEN!)                                                                       250 gr
  • Home-made Savoiardi (AKA Ladyfinger biscuits)                                                                      32 X
  • Coffee (a great Italian coffee blend)                                                                                          5-6 X
  • Sugar to sweeten the coffee                      1 s.s.
  • Rum (or Gin) for the coffee                      2 s.s.
  • Bitter cocoa powder for the top



Directions:

Prepare the coffee (a Moka machine for 5 to 6 people), pour it in a bowl, add a soup spoon of sugar, 2 soup spoons of Rum (or Gin), stir and let the coffee cool down.

Whip the egg yolks with the 60 gr of sugar, then add the mascarpone cheese (that has been sitting at room temperature) and keep mixing until the Mascarpone cream has a homogeneous consistence.

Rapidly soak the ladyfingers in the coffee, let them drip for few seconds and start preparing the layers (I usually put a bit of the Mascarpone cream in the bottom of the bowl).



Alternate the soaked biscuits with a layer of Mascarpone cream up to the top of the bowl.


Sprinkle the cocoa powder on top of the last layer.

Leave the Tiramisu in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours!

The recipe to prepare the Savoiardi (ladyfingers) biscuits at home will be posted soon!

One more way to combine soy wax and gel!

The followings are all two-layered candles with the bottom layer made of gel and the upper part made of soy wax . Why combining the two of them? Because gel is transparent and allows you to embed objects   and soy wax   has an incredible  scent   throw and a long burning time ! Few simple rules for embedding objects: ideally they should be non flammable (like glass animals, shells or stones)! ...but if you do not exaggerate with the amount, you also can potentially use cinnamon sticks, dried flowers etc... To be on the safe side: if you use flammable objects I'd anyway suggest you to pour the thinnest layer of gel as possible (just to cover the embeds) and avoid burning this layer. And remember: never ever leave lit candles unattended! Let yourself be inspired and give it a try! Gel embeddings: glitters (blue candle) or sea shells (peach candle). Soy wax: caramel-scented.   G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks (left) or star
