Here is a huge slice of "Tiramisu" for my Friend Person LYN. Cheers, it's so rich, creamy and yummy.
Ingredients:
1 2/3 cup sugar
6 egg yolks
1 1/2 pkgs cream cheese (250 g. each)
1/2 litre (about 2 cups) whipped whipping cream
2 teaspoons Kahlua
2-3 pkgs lady fingers or substitute with angel food cake
1-2 cup espresso or strong brewed coffee
shredded chocolate (to garnish)
Mix together sugar and egg yolks. Cut cream cheese into small pieces, and whip into sugar/egg yolk mixture. Add whipped whipping cream, and Kahlua with electric mixer. Use an entire mini bottle of Kahlua (less if you prefer).6 egg yolks
1 1/2 pkgs cream cheese (250 g. each)
1/2 litre (about 2 cups) whipped whipping cream
2 teaspoons Kahlua
2-3 pkgs lady fingers or substitute with angel food cake
1-2 cup espresso or strong brewed coffee
shredded chocolate (to garnish)
*Soak lady fingers in espresso, and line the bottom of a 9x13" foil pan with half of them. Spread 1/2 the cream cheese mixture over the top, and repeat layers until all mixture is used up.
Cover top of cheesecake with shredded chocolate. Refrigerate 4 - 6 hours, then serve.
For lower fat, substitute angel food cake for the lady fingers, and use low fat Cool Whip. Decaf coffee may be substituted for a caffeine-free version.
*Personal Note: I like it with half of small bottle Kahlua, about 1/4 cup and angel food cake taste better than lady finger and never mind soaking it to espresso. Dry angel food cake is better to complement the richness of the filling. Yummy
