My Tiramisu' recipe!

At the beginning of this week, in the early morning (just before 7:00), I've received a kind invitation for an unusual thing : a Christmas Breakfast! Isn't it really nice?

my name is spelt a little bit wrong, but the card is soooo sweet!

nice idea, eh?

I never did something like this before! Never in my entire life! So, I'm really enthusiast about the invitation (still giggling when I think about it!), that I thought to buy something to wear for the great occasion, like...

the Santas will be thread on a bakery twine into a necklace!

.....And moreover, to prepare my D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S TIRAMISU' !!!!
So, where to start? Take note of every step and you'll taste something scrumptious (mouthwatering is more realistic!) indeed!



You will need (ingredients and "tools" will be listed together!):

  • 150g caster sugar
  • 5/6   raw eggs
  • 2 packs of SAVOIARDI (or lady fingers)
  • coffee
  • milk
  • 500ml whipping cream
  • cocoa powder
  • 3 mixing bowls (one has to be big!)
  • a food whisk or electric mixer
  • a deep serving dish
  • a wooden spoon
  • a tiny sieve
Directions:



First, prepare the coffee (you can use even the instant coffee granules, if you like!)!!! In my kitchen we have different options, as you can see...but this morning I decided to use the percolator!!! When ready, pour the coffee in a soup bowl (I've forgotten to put this in the list above!!! Sorry!) and add milk: this wiil be the "cappuccino" in which to dip the biscuits later!


Use the big mixing bowl to whip the cream until it will be actually firm !





Set apart this bowl and in other two ones separate the egg yolks from the whites


Combine the sugar with the yolks and whisk to obtain a soft cream



Once obtained the soft cream, you mix this one with the whipped one, like that :


after stirring and stirring GENNTLY, this is what you get!

Collect the bowl whit the egg whites. Add a pinch of salt and whisk until mixture forms stiff peaks!



After this step, you can pour this in the big bowl, so that now you have the Tiramisu' cream mixture!!! Like in the next pictures :



Collect all you need for the following steps : "cappuccino", cream, deep serving dish and savoiardi!!!


Dip each savoiardo in the "cappuccino" blend and place it on the bottom of the serving dish


Continue until you have completed a layer to cover the bottom


Spread evenly the cream over this layer of sponge fingers, like that :




Repeat to make one or two more layers of savoiardi and cream! Remember : top off with the remaining cream mixture and smooth the surface with the back of a large metal spoon, if you like.


So, now that you have completed the recipe, you have to cover the Tiramisu' with the cling film


and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours. Overnight is better for the flavour to develops!
You have to collect out the Tiramisu' from the freezer at least two hours before serving. When ready, dust evenly with the cocoa powder (help yourself with the use of a little sieve!).



Enjoy!!!

See you soon, xxx

Make it ! The Granny Yarn Chain !!!

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS ???? SURE YOU ARE !!! I now that!!!! ;oD So during this last week I was showing you via Instagram (see  my personal feed ) some colourful pictures about my new crochet w.i.p. , which I completed last night ... ... so this morning, before school/office time a couple of boys helped me with the last photos for this blog post ... TA-DAH ... The beauty of this project resides in the fact that is adaptable to any extent, any kind of yarn and any corner of your home (in or out!) !!! The inspiration and "creative kick" derives from two other projects I've seen around :  The Chain Statement Necklace  by my dear friend Miki from  Set Free My Gypsy Soul  and  Peggy's Comfy Indoors Blanket  by Pip Lincoln from  Meet Me at Mike's  !!! Thank you both, girls !!! It has been a long time since I've been wanting to crochet (or even knit !) a paper chain ... I made some long paper chains for our Christmas tree back in Indonesia but I al

Make it ! Knitted triangular scarf !!!

Last December, I saw a very simple and cute scarf knitted by Angie ( le monde de sucrette) and I thought to knit one for me, too, but then I was busy with the gifts to prepare for family and friends back in Italy .... so nothing was done for me!!! Luckily, some days ago, while browsing through my blogs list, I found a post from Ilaria ( IDA interior lifestyle) , who was proposing the same (she added a pompom!) piece of clothing .... I didn't have any excuse to wait longer for knitting my own triangular scarf!!!! ;oD So, I started .... Do you want to start one, too ??? Well, you need : some yarn ! My personal choice was : Lana Grossa Basics Calmo (59% acrylic, 24% cotton and 17% linen), shade 207. All my 4 balls of yarn (50g each) have been used for this project. Then 2 balls (50g each) from Rowan Classic Cotton Jeans Yarn (100% cotton), shade 365-Sierra, for both stripes and tassels! a pair of 4,5mm  knitting circular needles or, if you prefer, a pair of long strai

Make it ! The Granny Bunny !!!

You know, this picture from my  Instagram feed  has collected more than 900 likes ... ... and a colourful crocheter named Karin @woolfieber , made her own version just looking at my pic (you can find her work  HERE  ) !!!! My idea, since the beginning , was to prepare a photo tutorial for you, but do you really need one ? These Granny Bunnies are so easy to crochet, believe me !!!! YOU NEED : some colourful mercerised cotton a 3,5 mm hook a pair of scissors a tapestry needle beads for embellishments (optional) Please note that I follow the US crochet terminology, thank you ! Each bunny measures 13 cm in height and it can be used for different purposes : bunting, hanging decorations, appliques, brooches, on napkin rings and more !!!! The sky's the limit !!! You can use this pattern even with different yarns and, consequently, hook sizes !!! ;oD Abbreviations : DC = double crochet ch = chain SC = single crochet 2SCtog = 2 single crochet
