Tiramisu Inspired Dessert
July 25, 2011 in Uncategorized
Hello Everybody,
There is less than a week left until the blessed month of Ramadhaan so I thought I would start this week on a sweet note. Next Monday will mark the first day of Ramadhaan, where Muslims around the world will be observing the fast from sunrise to sunset. I am looking forward to a month of spirituality and prayer after the excesses of the year its cathartic to have a month of spiritual and physical cleansing.
This recipe was conceived as a result of a slight kitchen mishap. I decided to bake an intense chocolate cake enrobed in a dark chocolate ganache for dessert. In my anticipation, I had prepared the ganache (made with Lindt nogal) while the cake was baking but when I removed the cake from the oven it was a bit of a disaster. The texture was very dry and the cake had not risen at all. I did not want to throw the cake away and still needed a dessert. Inspiration struck and this is what happened:
SoK’s Tiramisu Inspired Dessert:
1 medium chocolate cake (cut into about 1 inch slices)
2 cups strong black coffee
250ml fresh cream
1 tub plain cream cheese
1 tbl caster sugar
Dark Chocolate Ganache
Beat the fresh cream until stiff, fold in the sugar
Soften and beat the cream cheese and fold into the fresh cream.
Lightly dip the cake into the coffee and layer in a square dish
Top with half the cream mixture
Drizzle with the ganache
Layer again with the cake and end of with the remaining cream
Combine 1 tbl Milo and 1 tsp NoMu cocoa
Dust liberally over the dessert and refrigerate for about 1 hour
Notes:
I added only 1 tbl of sugar to the cream and cream cheese, because I didn’t want a very sweet dessert (also the cake was quite sweet). You may add less or more according to taste
For the Ganache:
1 slab Lindt 70%
½ slab Lindt 85%
¾ cup fresh cream
Melt the chocolate over a double boiler
Slowly stir in the cream
Refrigerate until set

This looks lovely, and what I really appreciate about this recipe is how simple it is. And aren’t the simplest recipes always the best ones?
