Green Tea Tiramisu

As an all time green tea lover, I had a sudden craving for green tea tiramisu yesterday night! So I decided to make this. It's very simple. Below are the ingredients and steps that I followed and would like to share with you. Hope you like it =)

Ingredients

Brewed green tea and leave it to cool

500g Spongefingers

For Green Tea Mascarpone Mixture:

3 Egg yolks

1/2 Cup of sugar

250g Mascarpone Cheese

1 Cup of fresh cream

1 Tbsp of vanilla essence

3 Tbsp of green tea powder (Adjust according to your taste)

Procedures

1. Beat the egg yolks and sugar in a mixing bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Beat till the mixture turns pale yellow and has doubled in volume. After that, cool the mixture in an ice water bath.

2. In another mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy. Don't overbeat it or it will become clumpy. But if that happens, don't worry as you can still smoothen it with the cream later on.

3. Next, add in the green tea powder bit by bit into the mascarpone cheese until the mixture is well blended.

4. Fold the mascarpone cheese into the slightly cooled egg yolk mixture above (step 1).

5. In another separate bowl, whip the fresh cream to soft peaks. Add in vanilla essence into the cream.

6. Fold the mascarpone mixture (step 4) into the whipped cream until well blended. *Refer to the picture below*

7. Dip each spongefinger into the brewed green tea (don't let it sit in too long as it will become very soggy and wet but do give it a second or two so that it gets a little softer). Place the dipped spongefingers onto the baking tray that you're using (I used pyrex dish).

8. Spread the green tea mascarpone mixture on top of the dipped spongefinger, and repeat this until the dish is filled up. *The top layer must be the mascarpone mixture!*

9. Refrigerate it for a couple of hours (preferably overnight) to let it set well.

*I cling wrap it and preparing to refrigerate it!*

10. Dust some green tea powder on top of the tiramisu before serving.

*The final product*

So, just try it out yourself! It's awesome =)

Your feedbacks are most welcomed!

God Bless You!

Updates during mid-sem

I'm back to update the blog again =)

Hehe hmm...time really past super fasttttt!! It's the 7th week of uni already...however, there's no mid-term break yet!! They changed the system this semester...pushing the break towards the end of September...so sad T.T But, I'm still excited for the upcoming holidays starting from 25th of September...and it's also time to catch up with my studies as I realized that I do not really know most of my stuffs for some of the units...especially Offshore Engineering =(

Anyway, looking on the bright side...my church is organizing an annual event called Search For A Star...it's gonna be held on the 18th of September 2010... I believe that this event is gonna be awesome... Can see lots of talented ppl performing on stage... And at the same time realizing that I'm such a noob *haha*! Owells, I'll be performing in choir again this time...and the dress code is a black dress =S

Oh and not to forget...my 21st Birthday!! Hehehe it was such an awesome day...receiving so many wishes from facebook and mobile text messages...and not to forget...the presents too!! The presents are: Honda City Car (by parents), Swarovski necklace (by Mike), Teddy Bear (by Yee Ling), Journal notebook (by Yih Lim), Chocolate (by David), Watch+Other accessories (by Uncle&Aunty), 21 random items (by a bunch of crazy awesome friends)...*and I think there's one more...but I haven't receive yet...so shall wait and see hehe*

After all, I just wanna thank God for who I am today...and how awesome is our God, where He has placed so many wonderful people around me...blessing me and supporting me all the time!! And I believe that one day, through prayer, my family members will be saved and enter His kingdom, and enjoy God's love too!! =)

I just wanna end with this verse:

"Show us your unfailing love, O Lord, and grant us your salvation." [Psalm 85:7]

God Bless You!!

Uni Uni

Hmm as the title stated, uni =)

This sem... I think it's the most slacking semester I have so far...

Haha classes seem to be not packed...

But I know the work load will be kinda heavy...

And they are coming real soon! Haha...

Owells... As usual, lectures are pretty boring *especially Offshore Engineering!*

The lecturer can talk for like 15~20 mins just for one slide... *Imagine*

Anyway, the interesting unit will be concrete I guess...

Got to build a concrete beam for a competition soon!

Hmm... Nothing much to talk bout this haha...

Will update soon if there's interesting stuffs to share about =)

Signing off now... God Bless!

Byeeeee *poof* =P
