Tiramisu is a world-renowned Italian dessert, but today I propose a unique version with whipped cream and pineapple that will turn any meal into a feast. It is a perfect dessert for all occasions, from parties to romantic dinners. The combination of coffee with whiskey, along with the smooth and flavorful cream, will delight any taste buds. Let’s discover together the necessary steps to create a delicious tiramisu!

Ingredients

- 1 large package of ladyfingers
- 1 package of Dr. Oetker vanilla cream (chilled)
- 500 ml cold milk
- 4 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 vanilla essence
- 1 tub of Făgăraș cream cheese
- 300 ml liquid whipped cream
- 400 ml strong coffee (about 4 tablespoons of coffee per cup of water)
- 80 ml whiskey
- 1 can of pineapple (chunks, well drained)

Preparation

1. Preparing the vanilla cream
In a large bowl, combine the Dr. Oetker vanilla cream with cold milk and the 4 tablespoons of sugar. Use an electric mixer to blend the ingredients until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous cream. It is important to use cold milk to ensure a fluffy texture.

2. Adding the cream cheese
Once the vanilla cream is well mixed, add the Făgăraș cream cheese. Mix again until well combined. This cheese will add a special creaminess to the dessert, and its flavor will perfectly complement the existing aromas.

3. Incorporating the whipped cream
In another bowl, whip the liquid cream until you achieve a firm consistency. Then, add the whipped cream to the vanilla and cheese mixture, gently folding with a spatula. Add 5-6 drops of vanilla essence to this mixture for an extra flavor boost. This step is essential for achieving a smooth and airy cream.

4. Preparing the coffee with whiskey
In a cup, prepare the strong coffee, using about 4 tablespoons of coffee per cup of water. Once the coffee is ready, add the whiskey and mix well. Let the mixture cool slightly.

5. Assembling the tiramisu
On a platter, arrange the ladyfingers side by side. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee and whiskey mixture, being careful not to soak them too much. This step is crucial to maintain the crunchy texture of the ladyfingers.

6. Layers of cream and pineapple
Cover the first layer of ladyfingers with a generous layer of cream, then add the well-drained pineapple chunks. Repeat the process with another layer of ladyfingers and another layer of cream, making sure to cover the sides with cream as well.

7. Finishing the tiramisu
Finally, sprinkle a layer of cocoa on top of the tiramisu. This will add a hint of bitterness that will pleasantly contrast with the sweetness of the dessert. You can decorate the tiramisu as you like, adding fresh fruits or mint leaves.

8. Chilling and serving
Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and let it chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This will allow the flavors to blend perfectly.

Practical Tips

- Coffee: Use high-quality coffee for an intense flavor. An espresso variant is ideal.
- Whiskey: If you want a non-alcoholic version, you can replace the whiskey with vanilla or caramel syrup.
- Cheese: If you can't find Făgăraș cheese, a good alternative is cottage cheese or mascarpone, but make sure it is well drained to avoid excess liquid.
- Pineapple: You can experiment with other fruits, such as strawberries or raspberries, to add a touch of freshness and color.
