This Valentines Day (or any special day of the year), surprise your sweetheart with a piece of delicious Tiramisu. This Italian cake recipe is a must for coffee lovers and you’ll be surprised that this elaborate looking dessert can be so easy it is to make.
Ingredients
  • Cream Cheese – 8oz box at room temp
  • Sugar – 6 Tbsp (divided)
  • Whipped Cream – ¾ cup Heavy Whipping Cream plus 1 Tbsp Sugar whipped to 1½ cups (1½ cups of Cool Whip may be used as an instant alternative)
  • Egg Yolks – 3
  • Strong Coffee – 1 cup (or as needed) mixed with 2 Tbsp Rum (optional)
  • Lady Fingers – 1 package (Alternative: ½ box white cake mix, see below)
  • Cocoa Powder & Powdered Sugar – for garnishing
Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, mix softened Cream Cheese with 3 Tbsp of sugar until sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix 3 egg yolks with remaining 3 Tbsp of sugar and whisk continuously in a double boiler until eggs are cooked (approx 1-2 minutes). The color of the yolks will turn a lemon yellow when done.
  3. Immediately mix the egg mixture into the cream cheese mixture and stir well.
  4. Add 2-3 Tbsp of the coffee into the mixture and mix well.
  5. Whip Heavy Whipping Cream and 1 Tbsp Sugar in a bowl over ice until fluffy. Fold Whipped Cream into cream cheese/egg mixture until well incorporated.
  6. Dip each Lady Finger into the coffee (for 1-2 seconds on each side) and place into square or rectangle tray until the bottom is completely covered.
  7. Spread ½ of the cream cheese filling evenly on top of the fingers.
  8. Lightly dust cocoa powder over the filling. Tea strainer works great!
  9. Repeat with another layer of coffee dipped fingers.
  10. Top with remaining filling.
  11. Sprinkle cocoa powder over the top to form a coating.
  12. Chill overnight to set.
  13. Garnish with a light dusting of powdered sugar.
  14. Alternative Method Using Boxed White Cake Mix:
  15. Bake cake per package directions. Only ½ box is necessary for this recipe.
  16. After cake has cooled, flip baking pan over on a flat dish or work surface.
  17. Using a long bread knife, cut the cake in half horizontally, creating two thin layers of cake.
  18. Carefully place the top layer back into the baking pan.
  19. Using a pastry brush, dab coffee onto the cake. More coffee may be required to soak the cake.
  20. Spread ½ of the cream cheese filling onto the cake and dust with cocoa powder.
  21. Carefully place the second layer of cake on top of the filling.
  22. Dab more coffee onto the cake.
  23. Spread remaining filling evenly and dust with cocoa creating an even layer.
  24. Cover and chill overnight.
