Tiramisu -Daring Baker's Challenge

When I had first made Tiramisu couple of years back, it wasn't remotely close to Tiramisu in looks however it tasted okay. I decided to give it another try when the Daring's Bakers Challenge for Feb was rolled out wherein the challenge was to make Tiramisu including ladyfingers and mascarpone cheese.



I had all the doubts about making the mascarpone cheese but the real trouble turned out to be the ladyfingers. Most of it was because I didn't know what it meant when they say "beat white eggs until stiff peaks appear". After an unsuccessful attempt and watching how stiff peaks look on youtube, I started my journey all over again. White eggs can be beaten to foamy stage, soft peaks, and stiff (hard) peaks. Pay careful attention to the demand of the recipe!

After resolving the mystery about eggs, I was able to put together the different pieces of the Tiramisu puzzle which was mind blowing. One of the other excitement about this recipe is that I can even try to make it in India as I don't have to figure out where to get the lady finger biscuits and mascarpone cheese from.
