David's Tiramisù


David told us that this popular Italian dessert was invented in Veneto by a whorehouse owner. The name derives from the Italian words for "throw yourself on top", and was marketed as an aphrodisiac, and considered an energetic meal due to the addition of coffee, cocoa, sugar and dairy among the main ingredients.



Ingredients:
4 eggs
500g (2x 250g) cream cheese without salt. David used a traditional Italian brand.
Some sobaos (traditional Spanish cake)
Some bizcocho soletilla (traditional Spanish cookies)
~4 tablespoons Sugar
~3 cups of coffee
~1 cup of milk
Rum
Cocoa or chocolate powder


1. Stir eggs and mix cream cheese in until homogenic.


2. Lay the sobaos on the bottom of the pan to cover it.


3. Pour rum over the sobaos.


4. Pour warm coffee, too.


5. Mash and spread the wet sobaos to cover bottom of pan entirely.


6. Pour half of the cheese/egg mix over the sobaos to form the 1st layer.


7. Spread to cover.


8. Soak the bizcocho soletilla one by one in cofee and milk.


9. Lay them on the pan as another layer.


10. Pour the remaining coffee/milk mix on top of the bizcocho.


11. Pour and spread the second half of the egg/cheese mix.


12. Fridge for 24 hours, then sprinkle cocoa powder or chocolate powder on top of it just before serving.
