*~Krisamisu~*

Finally I have made it!!!

Taste a bit sweet but still edible...

Look a bit soggy but still edible keke...

But I think is good enough for my first try! *Self-Consoling*

This is the recipe that I have followed:

Ingredients Needed:

For Coffee Dip:
*1-1/2 cups (360cc) Italian Espresso Coffee
*2 teaspons sugar

For Zabaglione Filling:
*4 egg yolks
*1/2 cup (100 gr) sugar
*1/2 cup (120cc) port wine

Preparing the coffee dip

*Prepare a strong espresso coffee.
*Dissolve 2 teaspoons sugar in it, when the coffee is still hot. Let the coffee cool at room temperature.

Preparing the zabaglione filling

*Beat egg yolks in a heat proof bowl until fluffy.
*Beat in sugar & port wine.
*Whisk over a pan of simmering water, until the cream thickens, just below boiling point, when small bubbles appear.
*With a rubber spatula, mash the mascarpone cheese in a bowl until creamy.
*Add the zabaglione into the mascarpone cheese, and beat to mix very well.
*Whip the cream. By hand, fold the whipped cream into the zabaglione-cheese cream, until smooth.

Assembling the cake

*Lightly soak the ladyfingers in the coffee, one at a time. Place them in one layer in a container of about 12 x 8 inches x 2 inches deep (30 x 20 cm x 4cm deep).
*Evenly distribute half of the zabaglione cream over the layer.
*Repeat the step with a second layer of ladyfingers, and top with the rest of the cream.
*Sprinkle with the cocoa powder & refrigerate for about 3 - 4 hours.

Well... want to thanks my 2nd sis and baby sis for helping me out if not I won't be able to complete it alone :)

Everything works fine except for the last stage when I added in my whipped cream into the zabaglione-cheese cream. Don't understand why the cream turn soggy & can't blend well together. Really feel like giving up but I still carry on by thinking of other way to save it. And I finally make it through!!!
