Making the tiramisu
Let's start by preparing the cream for the tiramisu.
- Pour the whipping cream into a bowl and partially whip it with a whisk.
- Chef's tip: to whip the cream more easily, make sure that both the bowl and the cream are as cold as possible.
- Add the sugar and continue whisking.
- Now it's time to add the mascarpone.
- Stir until the texture is creamy.
- Set aside to chill. You can do this for 10 minutes in the freezer or 30 minutes in the fridge.
In the meantime, let's move onto the last step. Yes, you read that correctly. There's only one thing left to prepare and that's the oatmeal biscuits.
- Using a glass container (not too big, something like a food storage container), pour in a cup of coffee that you've brewed previously.
- Dip the oatmeal biscuits in it for a few seconds so that they soak up the liquid, then remove them.
Plating
Tiramisu is based, first and foremost, on layering and, for a perfect finish, Óscar recommends that we layer it as follows. Take note:
- In a cup or glass, assemble the ingredients in the same manner for each guest.
- Layers: start with a layer of biscuit, followed by a layer of cream. You can use a piping bag for this step. Repeat the process until the glass is full. The last layer should be cream.
- Mix the cocoa and coffee powder and sprinkle it on top of the cream for garnish. We've done this with a salt shaker to make it easier.
And that's it! Enjoy an easy and delicious dessert in just a few minutes.
