Tiramisu: Halal and Egg Free!

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Monday was a bank holiday, and I decided to tackle a dessert that has been highly requested around here. 




Tiramisu is a coffee and cream concoction that is so quick to put together and perfect to make in advance. Layers of sponge fingers dipped in coffee, cream and chocolate - now how good does that sound?
The original recipe uses both alcohol and raw eggs but I found one that uses none! This dessert will definitely become a family favourite and convert even the non-coffee drinkers to have a taste.

Tiramisu, previously: Strawberry and Orange Summer Tiramisu

Ingredients needed to make this Tiramisu include Double Cream, Mascarpone, Caster Sugar, Sponge Fingers, Strong Coffee, Cocoa Powder and Dark Chocolate.

Bismillah, let's begin!

First, prepare the coffee. Take 300 ml of Water.

Pour into a saucepan.

And, bring to the boil.

For the coffee, take 2 tablespoons of Coffee Granules

Add to the boiling water, and stir in. Let it boil for a minute, and then take off the heat.

Allow the coffee to cool for a few minutes and then pour into a shallow dish.

Now, for the cream. Into a bowl, pour in 568 ml of Double Cream.

Then, take 250 grams of Mascarpone. You can use the lighter one too - it works just as well!

Add it to the bowl.

Along with 5 tablespoons of Caster Sugar.

Whisk everything together until thick and creamy.

Next, grab a packet of Boudoir Fingers. You'll need about 200 grams. 

These are also called sponge fingers, similar to when making trifle.

Get your coffee ..

.. and a serving dish.

Begin by dipping about half of the sponge fingers in the coffee, turning them over a few times until soaked but not soggy.

Place into the dish.

And continue with the rest of the first half.

Then, spread on about half of the cream mixture.


Grate up Dark Chocolate, to taste.

And, sprinkle it over the cream.

Dip the remaining fingers in coffee, and place on top of the cream.

Spread on the rest of the cream.

Chill the Tiramisu in the fridge for a few hours or even better, overnight.

When it's time to serve, grate over more Dark Chocolate and dust with Cocoa Powder.

And, dig in! This dessert won't last long!
