Ingredients
1 ⅓cupsStrong coffee
¼ cup + 2tbspsugar
10.6 oz (300g)Cream cheese
1 ½cupsHeavy whipping cream
25-26Ladyfinger biscuits
1 ¼tbspVanilla Sugar(or regular sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract)
Cocoa for dusting
Instructions
Make 1 ⅓ cups really strong coffee. Add 2 heaping tablespoons of sugar to the coffee and mix well until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool.
In a medium-sized bowl combine 10.6oz cream cheese and ¼ cup sugar. Beat them together until the sugar granules dissolve in the cream cheese (about 3-4 minutes). Set aside.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream with 1 ¼ tbsp vanilla sugar together until you get a thick whipped cream mixture. (Alternatively, use regular sugar and add 1 tsp of vanilla extract).
Combine the whipped cream and the cream cheese mixture and beat until well-combined (half a minute or so).
Lay out approximately 12 ladyfinger biscuits into a 7 x 11 inch casserole/baking dish cutting them as necessary to fit the dish. Using a pastry brush, brush half of the coffee onto the biscuits (Alternatively, pour the coffee into a bowl, dip each side of the biscuits into the coffee and lay into the baking dish).
Cover the first layer of the ladyfinger biscuits with half of the cream cheese whipped cream mixture and spread it out evenly.
Place an additional 13-14 ladyfinger biscuits onto the layer of cream and using the pastry brush, spread the rest of the coffee onto the biscuits (or dip the biscuits into the coffee and then place onto the cream layer).
Spread the rest of the cream onto the biscuits and using an angled frosting spatula, even out the frosting on the top (a large chef's knife can also be used for this step.
Using a small mesh-sieve, sprinkle cocoa powder onto the top of the cake, until well-covered. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate over night.
Slice and serve. (Tip: place your knife into boiling water and wipe it off. Slice the tiramisu with the still hot knife to get an even cut).
