Tiramisu Cheese Cake recipe with homemade ladyfinger biscuits and mascarpone cheese

Tiramisu, a classic Italian cheese cake is a perfect dessert for valentine day. Surprise your beloved with this Italian treat. Usually the main ingredients of Tiramisu are mascarpone cheese, ladyfinger biscuits, whipped cream and eggs. I am a pure vegetarian and I did not find mascarpone cheese and ladyfinger biscuits from my local grocery store but none of these circumstances stopped me from making this delicious treat. My valentine is on foreign trip and I will treat him with this lovely, delicious cake so today, I’m here to share Eggless Tiramisu cake with homemade lady finger biscuits and Mascarpone cheese substitute.

Main Ingredients for Tiramisu:

1) Mascarpone cheese or Substitute for Mascarpone cheese

• Kraft Philadelphia cheese cream 8 oz (226 gm)
• ½ cup Sour cream

3)  Ladyfinger biscuits-12 pieces or Plain Sponge cake

• Deep ladyfinger biscuit in a coffee liquid and put in a dish or container.
• Now top it with Icing and spread evenly with butter knife.
• Keep the 2^nd layer of ladyfinger biscuits (deeped in coffee liquor) on top of the first layer and spread icing on it. Same way, you can do for three layers.
• Now sprinkle(dust) coco powder on the top of it with sieve(gurnee)
• Decorate with m&m or chocolate leaf.
• Refrigerate it for 6 hours.
• Serve chilled. This cheese cake is softer then our usual cake. So you can even serve in an ice cream cup and give desired shape, I’ve given Heart Shape.

Tip: Before serving, Keep in the freezer (Upper part of the Refrigerator) for one and half hour otherwise it will become very soft and loose.
