Cocoa powder (to sprinkle when finished)

large bowl

24 lady fingers or sponge cake in the above mixture

a rectangular glass/aluminum foil pan with 12 of the soaked lady fingers

egg yolks & 4 tablespoons of sugar. Add mascarpone cheese & 2 tablespoons
of rum/cognac. Mix together well.

egg whites until stiff peaks form, and then fold into the mascarpone cheese

chilling it overnight). Just before serving, sprinkle generously with cocoa

I do my own little improvisations from this recipe, so see how creative you can do it yourself! 🙂

was wondering where to get the lady fingers?
Hi Chloe!
Most Cold Storage will sell them and a pack should only cost around $2-3. I’m not too sure if NTUC Finest carries them now. If all else fails, Jasons & Tierneys definitely has them.
How many servings is this recipe for?
I also tried making tiramisu before with other recipe however I find soaking the ladyfingers in the coffee a task cause the lady fingers absorb the liquid very fast and my lady fingers became so soggy.
Is it suppose to be soggy? and the whole tiramisu turns out rather wet and messy ugly.
Any suggestions?
Hi Jasmine!
The trick to soaking the fingers is to use a pastry brush and brush the coffee mixture onto the laid out fingers. This way, you can control the amt of liquid being soaked into the fingers and get it just right. I understand your distress as the very 1st time I made it many years back, I had the same problem!
It’s not supposed to be soggy, just moist – no excess liquid should be seeping out, but the fingers are in the colour of the coffee.
HOpe this helps!
Happy Baking!
