Last Sunday was my Birthday.Usually I bought our Birthday cake from Chinatown Bakery but since I learn how to bake,then I better make my own cake now.Furthermore ,I would love to take this opportunity to use my new Kitchen Aid Mixer to make this special Tiramisu.I bought my own Birthday gift (Kitchen Aid Mixer) months in advance ,told hubby he don't have to buy me any gift when my Birthday arrived.LOL! The last time I make this special Italian cake was on hubby
Birthday .I decided to make Tiramisu for my own Birthday Cake again because I have some pure coco powder and coffee powder which I bought from Bali when I was there early this year for my vacation.Beside that I found our local market sell a punnet of fresh strawberry for $0.99 only! Cheap ,right??

Ingredients :
2 tub of 8oz mascarpone cheese
2 tbsp of Kahlua coffee liqueur
8 tbsp of sugar
600 ml of heavy cream (1 qt)
1 cup of strong brewed coffee
1/4 cup of dark rum
48 lady fingers
4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 lb fresh strawberry ( 1 1/2 punnet)
1 punnet blueberry

Method:
1)Mixing bowl whisk the whipping cream with 4 tbsp of sugar until firm peak, set aside .
2) In a second mixing bowl cream the mascarpone, coffee liqueur and 4 tbsp of sugar
3) Fold the whipping cream into the mascarpone cheese and set aside
4) Mix the coffee and dark rum. Dip lady fingers into coffee mixture and place in the bottom of the baking dish or spring form pan.
5) Spread some cream cheese mixture over the ladyfingers and dust with cocoa powder.
6) Dip some ladyfingers into coffee mixture and repeat step '5' again.
7) Cover and refrigerate tiramisu overnight.
8) Just before serving decorate it with some cocoa powder or fresh fruits.
Note:
I used ladyfinger instead of sponge cake which is more Italian.Actually Tiramisu is really easy to make,no baking just whisking and assemble.I remember the first time I make this cake I used half and half instead of heavy cream .The cake is a total disaster!! Then Gertrude told me ,I can't substitute heavy cream with half and half.Both items are totally different function.I have to thanks Gertrude for her guidance especially in baking technique.I found out another option to substitute heavy cream.You can use 2 box of whipping cream if you refused to whisk heavy cream in the mixer,to minimize the work. Good Luck!
