Simple Tiramisu

After reading and going over many recipes on how to make the perfect Tiramisu cake, I ran into many variations of this decadent italian sweet. Theres the italian use of raw eggs, the time consuming baking and the simple tiramisu. This recipe is ultimately good for those moments when you crave something sweet, yet easy, without pain staking labor.

Heres the recipe, (simplified for convenince)
*The recipe has no exact measurements so eyeballing and mixing to your right consistency is best.

1-2 packs of Italian lady fingers (I had trouble finding them in the regular grocery store, but I found them in the Russian store or try a European store)

1 container of Mascarpone cheese

About 1 container of thawed whipping cream

Powdered sugar

Vanilla extract

Rum imitation or Rum for bolder flavor

Brewed good quality coffee or expresso

Cocoa powder or Belgium good quality chocolate

-----------

1. Mix cheese with a hand mixer until smooth

2. Add whipping cream, the more you add the runnier, mix so there will be no clumps

3. Add powdered sugar through a sifter to desired taste and sweetness level

4. Add about 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and rum, mix

5. Pour some of the coffee in a flat container add about 1 teaspoon of vanilla and rum, mix

6. Dip lady fingers in coffee mixture, without fully soaking the cookie, line the bottom of a cake pan with dipped cookies

7. Add a layer of cream mixture on top of cookies, repeat until you have filled the cake pan

8. To top add a layer of cocoa powder through a sifter or grate some chocolate on top to finish!

9. Cover cake with plastic wrap or a cover and set in the refrigerator over night

10. Open up and enjoy!
