I do believe that nothing can be conquered easily unless we don't have enough effort.
After 2 times of failure, I finally could make it because "V. to give up" isn't written down on my dictionary. I am saying about my effort to make a dessert which is "Tiramisu". I think it is the most well-known Italian dessert and I love its lovely meaning "Pull me up!" Yay :)
*Some Thai friends of mine thought it was a name of Japanese dessert or a kind of liquor. It might probably sound like Japanese.
Speaking of the preparation, it might be considered an easy menu for the others but it was my first time to try to cook it so I was such a dummy. I confess that I had to throw it away twice. That sucked but I learned from the mistakes so I kept moving on until I was able to make it.
For the first failure, it was my first time of making Tiramisu as well as using the hand mixer. Apparently, it was a clumsy time. I took too long time to beat the heavy cream so it became butter-like. The cream was supposed to be rising and fluffy. Then I had to throw it away.
For the second , I obviously noticed the big mistake which was one of the ingredients; homemade Mascarpone. It was between fluid and liquid. When I had mixed it with yolks, it was melted and became liquid. Plus, I soaked the lady fingers into the hot espresso instead of the cooled one so it became screwed up. Well, off to the trash again!
I went to buy Mascarpone at the supermarket and came back to remake it. I rolled smoothly this time :) Thanks to my strong effort and it makes me think that Tiramisu is really easy for making. Lastly, I'd like to share the recipe from my experience.
* It is quite difficult to find the following ingredients in Thailand. I recommend Villa Supermarket. You can find all ingredients there for sure.
