Tiramisu Cake

For the whisky tasting I was ordered to make tiramisu. :) 


Yes, people already told my that tiramisu looks different and that THIS could not be something as simple as tiramisu... Well, they are right. Somehow. This cake contains strawberries, so it is no ordinary tiramisu :)


What you need is:

200 g cookies (simple sugar cookies, lady's fingers,...)
125 g butter (melted)
500 g mascarpone
200 g cream cheese (e. g. philadelphia)
100 g sugar
2 egg yolks
Kahlua
400 g raspberries
lady's fingers (I needed 11)
cocoa powder



Crumble the cookies a finely as possible and add the melted butter. Spread the mixture onto the base of a spring form (24cm) and press it into an even crumb crust. 
Mix mascarpone and cream cheese until combined. Add sugar and yolks and stir until all ingredients form an even mass. Stir in some Kahlua if desired.

Cut the lady's fingers in half and line the spring form with them (see picture). Fill in the strawberries, then fill in the mass and refrigerate until needed. 
Finally, strew cocoa powder over the 'cake'. Ready :)
