Tiramisu in a Jar
- 250 grams marscapone cheese
- 5 eggs, separate yolks and whites
- 1 cup fine sugar
- 1 cup coffee, sweetened to taste
- 16 sponge fingers
- 1 Rum (optional), to taste
- 8 small jars, washed and dried.
- 1 chunks of dark chocolate
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 pinch icing sugar
- Combine all YOLKS with one cup of sugar, whisk until light yellow color.
- Add all mascapone cheese to the yolk mix.
- Whisk until smooth.
- Set aside.
- Whisk all the WHITES until soft peaks form (when the top layer is hard but still runny underneath).
- add the remaining sugar slowly while whisking, until stiff peaks form (when u turn the bowl upside down nothing falls out).
- This step takes awhile.
- FOLD the whites and cheese mix in with a spatula.
- Be careful not to stir the air out of the whites, as this step makes your cream layer light and fluffy.
- Fold until consistent color and texture.
- Set aside.
- To make the sponge layers of your tiramisu, pour the coffee into a shallow dish and dip the sponge fingers quickly, on all sides.
- You can add the rum to the coffee if you want.
- Don't soak the fingers all the way through, they should by soft ro the touch but not wet.
- Now layer the jars.
- Break one dipped sponge finger into thirds and put them at the bottom of the jar.
- they should just cover the bottom, and should not be wet.
- Spoon just enough cream mix to cover the first sponge layer, shaking slightly to remove trapped air.
- Sift a thin layer of cocoa powder to cover the cream.
- Break another dipped sponge finger and add your.second sponge layer to the jar.
- Make sure not to push the sponge fingers into the cream.
- Cover the fingers with another layer of cream.
- This cream layer has to reach the neck of the jar.
- Sift the cocoa powder to cover the layer.
- Decorate the top with a small chip of dark chocolate, and a pinch of icing sugar to contrast the dark colors.
- screw the lid on tight, and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
