The Best Tiramisu
Description
This tiramisu recipe uses sponge cake sliced into layers, which are soaked thoroughly in a coffee and liquor syrup to add moistness and coffee flavor. The creamy frosting combines softened cream cheese with sugar, whipped with heavy cream until stiff peaks form, producing a thick and smooth topping that holds well between layers.
The assembly involves layering soaked cake and frosting multiple times, dusting with cocoa powder between layers and on top, and finishing with grated chocolate along the sides. The cake should cool appropriately to avoid becoming mushy when soaked.
The resulting tiramisu presents a pleasing contrast between the moist cake layers, creamy frosting, and the bitter notes from the coffee and cocoa powder. It is well suited for dessert occasions when a classic coffee-flavored sweet with a creamy texture is desired.
Ingredients
- 1 sponge cake
- 7 oz chocolate
Tiramisu Frosting
- 2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 16 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
Coffee Syrup
- 2 cup coffee
- 4 tbsp liquor
Instructions
Tiramisu Frosting
- Beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth.
- Add heavy whipping cream and beat until cream is stiff. Keep frosting refrigerated until ready for use, its easier to spread on to the cake.
Coffee Syrup
- Make 2 cups of really strong coffee of your choice. I used a bold flavor, it makes the cake have more taste. Let the cake cool down, add liquor and mix well.
Finalizing Cake
- Split your cake into 2 or 3 layers. Place first layer on the cake plate. (Be sure to let baked Beskvit cool off for bit, this way it's not mushy.)
- Using a spoon, pour 1/3 of the syrup evenly over the first cake layer.
- Spread 1/3 of the frosting over the first layer. Sift some cocoa powder; I used about 2 tsp. Center the second cake layer over the frosting. Repeat with second layer.
- For the top layer, pour syrup only on the bottom side. Place it on your cake and cover with frosting. Shift some cocoa to decorate the top. Decorate the sides with grated chocolate.
