MY San Grahams Tiramisu

Italy’s most famous dessert was first created in the town of Treviso in the 1960’s.
Yet it was only in the early 90’s that tiramisu became popular worldwide. Tirami su’
is actually an expression, “Pick me up”, a fitting name especially since its main
ingredients are energy giving cream, sugar and invigorating espresso.

To liven up your Father’s Day celebration, MY San Grahams will guide you in creating
a uniquely delicious gift for the best dad. Don’t worry! Our mouthwatering tiramisu
can be made in just a few simple steps.



MY San Grahams Tiramisu


INGREDIENTS

Layers:
18 pieces (1 225g Handypack) MY San Grahams Chocolate
1/2 cup black coffee (1 teaspoon coffee, 2 teaspoons sugar, 1/2 cup water)
3 tablespoons rum (optional)
2 tablespoons sugar


Filling:

250 grams or 1 block cream cheese
1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar
2 tablespoons rum (optional)

PROCEDURE

1. PREPARE LAYERS. Combine the black coffee, sugar and rum in a bowl. Dip the graham
cracker crumbs in the coffee and rum mixture. Lay the soaked graham
crackers on a dish. Reserve for use later.

until light and fluffy. Add 2 tablespoons rum.

3. WHISK the all-purpose cream in another bowl until it doubles in volume.

4. FOLD the whipped cream into the cheese mixture, making sure both are blended
thoroughly. Divide into three equal parts.

Spread evenly. Do another layer alternating crackers and cream.
Chill until cream is set. Sift with cocoa powder on top. Serve.
