Ingredients
For the Paneer Cream
- 1 cup Crumbled Homemade Paneer
- 2 tbsp Sugar or to taste, powdered
- 1/4 cup Cream whipped
For Assembly
- 4 slices Ladyfingers Or Sponge Cake
- 1 tsp Cocoa Powder
- Chocolate Leaves for garnish, white
- Silver balls for garnish
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.
