Tiramisu..the simple version....

That's Tiramisu..yea..i know it makes u think..high calorie!!! but my version is a low fat one and not at all the authentic way,yet it tastes reasonably good.

when i decide to cook something new,i always do a lot of research and collect various versions and combine ideas together and end up creating something in my comfort zone.So the good thing about it is,it makes you aware how the dish is supposed to be and how differently you can go about making it.

Of-course its not possible to change some very basic ingredients but some can be substituted,which might help to reduce the calories,use the ingredients that you already have or even cut down the cost.

In this case,to make it less complicated and of-course healthier,
1)- i used low fat cream cheese rather than mascopone cheese ,
2)-condensed milk instead of heavy cream and eggs.

3) The most important tip is to assemble the sponge fingers dipped in the coffee and coffee liqueur mixture and the custard(cheese+condensed milk+vanilla extract),in layers and keep it for at least few hours so that the flavors can intermingle.

4) To get that finished look just add some coca powder on top..but in my version i had some dark cooking chocolate,so i grated it on top.

My major flaw was that i couldn't get coffee liqueur,and used normal liqueur.So the intensity of coffee flavor was not good enough.Sounds pretty simple right...i am sure this can be pulled off by anyone..so..do give it a try and enjoy!!!!
