15-minutes tiramisu

I love my coffee with all my senses and I am addicted to it. I can go for cups and cups without feeling giddy. Since coffee can be enjoyed not only in fluid form, I decided to load myself with some sugar plus caffeine by making a tiramisu.

Easy, quick and simple, and yumss. Plus, white wine free.

Ingredients:
  • double cream
  • icing sugar
  • caster sugar
  • a tsp vanilla essence
  • a log of ready made pound cake, or bake your own butter pound cake if you have the time. I didn't.
  • 2 tbs of coffee mixed with a mug of hot water

Methods:
  • Mix a tub of double cream about 300ml, with vanilla essence, icing sugar and caster sugar. Up to individual taste how sweet you want it. I put 1/4 cup of icing sugar and 3/4 cup of caster sugar. Mine turned out to be a little too sweet. Ergh.
  • Mix until the cream wont fall if you tilt the bowl over. Dont over mix or you'll get 'milk' instead of cream. 
  • Prep the cake, cut into equal slices. Lay it on any pans or container that you want.
  • Pour over coffee on the cakes. Make sure it seep through the cake, but dont overpour cause you dont want your base to be soggy. 
  • Lay over the prep-ed cream mix evenly. 
  • Decore with coffee powder, or chocolate chips or whatever.
  • Into the fridge to be cooled. Eat and joy!
