my 2nd attempt on making Tiramisu

This is my 2nd attempt on making Tiramisu, the first time i did was here. frankly i prefer the first attempt although it doesn't look like a cake and i find it too thick because this time round it was a failure! it was TOO watery =( i guess it was the egg white that i have added in. previously i didn't add in egg while and was using my hand to whisk them up but this time wrong i use egg white and also use an electric mixer.

2 Teaspoon of Black Nescafé coffee

boiled water and make 300ml of Black Nescafé coffee (ps you SHOULD make MORE of this and i find that i did not have enough of the coffee to dip my lady fingers in so some of them i just dip half)

got this lady fingers

separate the egg yolk and whites. i use 7 egg yolks and 5 egg whites. because my mixer turned watery so i thought that by adding in more egg yolk it will be thicker but end up there wasn't any different =( so i think its best not to use the egg whites at all.

75g of sugar which is 5 tablespoon

firstly i use my mixer to whisk my egg white till fluffy

i will look like this

clearly picture of the egg white, look like cream, set a side.

put all the egg yolks and sugar in the mixer and whisk.

my egg yolk is whisking!

whisk till it look like this, evenly.

i brought this Mascopone Cheese 500g ($14)

put all of the mascopone cheese into the egg yolk mixer

this is how it will look like with the Sugar, Mascopone Cheese and egg yolks

then i added in the fluffy egg white in with my egg yolk mixer. whisk till set it should be thick but mine was SUPER watery and ive forgotten to take a picture of it to show =(

dip the lady fingers in the Black coffee and lay them on a tray,then spread the egg mixer, sprinkle coco powder (i use Cadbury hot chocolate powder which is actually meant to make drinks) and put another layer of the lady finger

as u can see here, my egg mixer is so watery =( i look at is also sad.

after a few hours in the freezer its ready to eat!

Ingredients:
Mascopone Cheese 500g
Boudoirs Lady Finger 2pkt (60stick)
75g of Sugar (5tpsp)
7 egg yolk
5 egg white (if you want to make can don't use this)
Black Nescafé coffee 2 teaspoon 300ml ( do make MORE of it)

Method:
  1. Boiled water and make a pot of Black Coffee without sugar and set aside to cool
  2. whisk all the egg whites till fluffy, set aside
  3. add in sugar, egg yolks & whisk till smooth
  4. add in the Mascopone Cheese together with the egg yolk mixer, whisk till thick
  5. pour the egg whites onto the egg yolk mixer and whisk again ( this part you can skip, i've included this is because this is what i did but its better not to even add in the egg whites)
  6. dip the lady fingers in the Black coffee and lay them on a tray, then spread the egg mixer, sprinkle coco powder (i use Cadbury hot chocolate powder which is actually meant to make drinks) and put another layer of the lady finger and do the same step again

the egg whites i think is overwhipped le, i think this video u can look through >> http://www.raleys.com/www/videos.jsp?videoid=1116298

the egg white is KILLER sia especially inportant if u try to do Chiffon cake, the stiff peak make or break the cake!!

I no confident usually i will scale down to 2 eggs and then do the cakes :)

Ok spotted another error, the egg white has to be FOLD IN and NOT throw into the mixture to MIX again. That will deflat all the egg whites that you have just beat and cause the eggwhite to become watery.

Egg white shld be folded in at the very last step. Hope the nxt time you try again, it will be better :)
