TIRAMISU

Many italians will curse me if they read this recipe. I know... the real thing needs mascarpone and eggs and marsala wine. But in Greece we use cream cheese and whipped cream most of the times. You will find this very fluffy and of course it doesn't contain raw eggs, which is always good if you don't trust them (you better!).

These are everything you need:

• 400 gr cream cheese
• 400 gr full cream
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• two capsules vanilla powder (if you are fancy go for the sticks, we are in the middle of an economic crise, so cheap stuff has to work)
• 400 gr savoiardi biscuits
• 1 big cup strong italian espresso
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

First make the whipped cream. Put it in the food processor with the sugar and vanilla. When it is thick like yogurt, add cream cheese and mix them together gently, using a spatula or a big spoon. Let it in the fridge.

Be sure your coffee is cold. Place in it the biscuits one at a time for two seconds. They are very soft and absorb the liquid very soon, so you can't put more in the coffee. You will ruin them.

Make a layer in a bowl or a deep platter... Whatever you like. Put the half of your cream. Toss some cocoa on it. Make one more layer with biscuits and add the remaining cream. Toss some more cocoa or chocolate powder if you find it bitter.

You may notice that there isn't any alcohol in the recipe i gave you. Of course Italians use marsala and many greeks add whisky or brandy, but little D is going crazy for this and coffee is enough. 

ENJOY!
