Instructions
 

  • Prepare the coffee mixture by heating the water in a small saucepan.
  • Once the water is hot, remove from heat and stir in the instant coffee until dissolved. Set aside to cool completely.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled paneer and powdered sugar.
  • Using a hand blender or electric mixer, beat the paneer and sugar until completely smooth and creamy. This creates the base for the tiramisu filling.
  • Gently fold in the whipped cream until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the whipped cream.
  • Begin assembling the tiramisu. Briefly dip each ladyfinger or sponge cake slice into the cooled coffee mixture. Don't over-soak, or the cake will become soggy.
  • Place a layer of the coffee-soaked cake in the bottom of individual serving glasses or a larger dish.
  • Spread a layer of the paneer cream mixture over the soaked cake.
  • Repeat the layers with the remaining cake slices and paneer cream, ending with a layer of paneer cream.
  • Dust the top generously with cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve. This adds a beautiful contrast in color and flavor.

  • Garnish with white chocolate leaves and silver balls for an elegant touch.
  • Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set. Serve chilled.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • Cool for at least 2-3 hours before serving.
  • For extra creaminess and a smoother texture, blend the crumbled paneer with a splash of milk before folding it into the whipped cream mixture.
  • If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, brush the ladyfingers or base layer with a concentrated coffee syrup made by dissolving instant coffee in just enough hot water to saturate the sponge.
  • To make this dessert ahead, assemble the tiramisu and chill it overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up, making it easier to slice and serve.
  • For a nutty twist, sprinkle finely chopped pistachios or roasted almonds between the layers or over the top for added crunch and a fusion of Indian flavors.

Expert Tips

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for dusting the top layer for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Ensure the paneer is completely dry before crumbling to prevent excess moisture in the filling.
  • Dip the ladyfingers in the coffee mixture quickly to prevent them from becoming soggy.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover tiramisu in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
