In this recipe, we will use a combination of simple ingredients but with spectacular taste to create an unforgettable tiramisu. Here’s how to prepare it!

Ingredients

- 4 boxes of tiramisu cream from Dr. Oetker
- 600 ml milk
- 12 ladyfinger biscuits
- 300 ml freshly brewed coffee, mixed with rum and sugar (optional, to taste)
- Cocoa for decoration

Ingredient details

- Tiramisu Cream: This cream is easy to use and offers an authentic tiramisu flavor. You can choose to use mascarpone for an even richer taste.
- Milk: Prefer whole milk for a creamier texture. Skim milk may make the cream slightly less rich.
- Ladyfingers: Ladyfingers are essential for creating the structure of the tiramisu. Make sure they are fresh to soak evenly in the coffee.
- Coffee: Use high-quality, freshly brewed coffee. You can adjust the amount of sugar and rum according to your preferences.

Preparation method

1. Preparing the cream: In a large bowl, add the four boxes of tiramisu cream and the milk. Use an electric mixer to combine the ingredients until you achieve a thick and smooth cream. This step is crucial, as a well-beaten cream will make the tiramisu airy and pleasant to taste.

2. Preparing the coffee: Brew the coffee and let it cool slightly. Add the rum and sugar to taste. Make sure the flavors are balanced; the coffee should be sweet but not overly sweet.

3. Assembling the tiramisu:
- Start by breaking a ladyfinger in each glass. Place the pieces of ladyfingers at the bottom of the glasses.
- Soak the ladyfingers with two tablespoons of coffee, ensuring they are well soaked but not so much that they become soggy.
- Add two tablespoons of the prepared cream and level it with a spatula.
- Continue with another layer of ladyfingers, then add another two tablespoons of cream.
- Repeat the process until the glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of cream.

4. Decoration: Sprinkle cocoa over each glass for an attractive visual effect. You can use a sieve to achieve an even layer.

5. Chilling: Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. This time is essential for the flavors to blend perfectly.

Serving

The tiramisu in a glass is served cold, ideal for enjoying after a hearty meal. It is an elegant dessert, perfect for special occasions or simply to indulge yourself. You can pair it with a hot espresso or a glass of sweet wine, such as Moscato, to enhance the dessert's flavors.

Practical tips

- If you want to add a personal touch, you can incorporate grated chocolate into the cream or add a layer of berries between the layers of cream and ladyfingers.
- Instead of rum, you can use coffee liqueur for an extra flavor boost.
- Make sure the glasses are clean and dry before starting the assembly for a more elegant appearance.

Frequently asked questions
