Tirimisu

[DaisyD]

Has anyone got a recipe for tirimisu that doesn't have raw eggs in it? I've promised to make it for a friend, but I can't use my normal recipe as I'm pregnant and raw eggs are off the menu! (otherwise will have to make normal recipe for friend but I wont be able to have any and that will be sad)

Tiramisu without eggs:

Ingredients (makes 4 large servings)

* 1/8 l (about 1/2 cup) Espresso coffee
* 200 g lady-fingers (about 40 pieces)
* 500g (2 generous cups) Mascarpone cream cheese
* 200 g (slightly less than one cup) whipping cream
* 100 g (slightly less than one cup) confectioners' sugar (powdered sugar)
* 2 cl (1-2 table spoons) Amaretto liquor (Alternative: Brandy/Cognac)
* About 3 table spoons (real) cocoa powder

Preparation:
Start with the Espresso and and let it cool. Next, whip the cream until it is rather stiff. Mix the sugar and the liquor, then stir the Mascarpone cream cheese until it is very smooth. Add the sugar/liquor mix and keep stiring. Finally, fold in the whipped cream.

Sprinkle the lady fingers with Espresso, until they are soft and moist, but not soggy. In a suitable pan, lay out one layer of soaked lady fingers. Spread half the Mascarpone-cream over it. Then add the second layer and spread on the rest of the cream. Let the Tiramisu sit for 2-4 hours in the fridge.

Directly before serving, sprinkle with a generous amount of cocoa powder.

I watched Daily Cooks the other day and they showed a recipe for tiramisu where the chef cooked the eggs and sugar over a pan of hot water and then added the mascarpone cheese.

This recipe isn't for the traditional tiramisu, but you could still use the recipe.
