Christmas Tiramisu Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 lb mascarpone or soft cream
1 cheese
3/4 cup sugar
8 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sweet wine
2 cup expresso or very strong
1 black coffee (approx)
9 oz ladyfingers or 14 oz. angel
1 food or sponge cake, thinly
1 sliced
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
Recipe Preparation
1. In a small bowl, using a fork, beat the cheese until creamy. Set
aside.
2. Place a large (about 10-12 cups capacity) metal bowl over a pot of
boiling water. Using a hand-held electric mixer set on medium high,
beat the sugar and egg yolks in the bowl for 1 minute, or until the
mixture is well blended. With the mixer set on low speed to prevent
splashing, gradually add the wine. Continue to cook and beat the
mixture, increasing the speed to medium and then to high as the
mixture thickens. Cook and beat for 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture
is thickened and light, scraping down the sides of the bowl
frequently with a rubber spatula.
3. Remove the bowl from the heat and continue to beat the mixture for
1 minute longer. Beat in the cheese just until blended (makes about 5
cups).
4. Pour one cup of the expresso into a small shallow bowl that is
large enough to hold a ladyfinger if it is placed horizontally in the
bowl.
5. Quickly dip the rounded top side of each ladyfinger into the
expresso. Only the top half of the ladyfingers should be soaked with
the expresso. If the ladyfingers get too wet, they will fall apart!
Add more coffee to the bowl as needed.
6. Place the ladyfingers, flat side down, in the bottom of a 13 x 9
glass or ceramic pan. Do not use a metal pan. Form one layer. Pour
half of the custard mixture over the ladyfingers and spread to cover
them. Dip the remaining ladyfingers in the expresso (there will be a
few remaining ones and form a second layer over the custard mixture.
Pour the remaining custard mixture over the ladyfingers and spread to
an even layer.
7. Place the cocoa in a strainer and dust the top of the tiramisu
evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 hours.
Makes: 10-12 servings.

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weightRecognise the difference between hunger and thirst. At times when going through a hectic day, you imagine you feel hunger but if truth be told you just need a restorative tumbler of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are quite alike, but one can result in weight gain and the alternative is fine.
Some reduced carb diet pointers:
* Replace sugar with a low carb substitute such as splenda. Most recipes that require sugar can be modified to make use of a sugar replacement like splenda. It doesn't weigh the same so you will have to do a bit of trial and error and it may not work for everything, but it gives very good results for the most part.
* Make low carb breadcrumbs for breaded foods. Whilst you may be able to buy reduced carbohydrate breadcrumbs, you can make them at home by simply using low carb bread. All you have to do is simply toast the reduced carb bread in your oven on a baking tray. Once it is well toasted, whizz it in your food processor or blender. Keep in a tupperware container.
Lycopene superfoods
(includes watermelon, red bell peppers and rosehip)
The chemical lypcopene is a non-synthetic coloring agent and part of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. This chemical is the reason for the deep red color of many fruit, vegetables and pulses.
Intrestingly, unlike many other healthy agents, lycopene is not damaged during the cooking process, but is actually strengthened by going through the cooking process.
. Lycoprene's key value is that it is an antioxidant and is believed to help to lower the probabilty of cancer.
This useful phytochemical is the most effective quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with aging of the skin. It is also thought by nutritionalists to slow down the development of atherosclerosis.
