Licor 43 dessert, a Guilty Pleasure
When thinking of this recipe I opted for a nice simple dessert. It should be easy to prepare and a real Guilty Pleasure. And because I love Licor 43 I decided to make a tiramisu with Licor 43. Well, that combination can only be great.
And it certainly was. Licor 43 is a Spanish liqueur with 43 secret ingredients (hence the name). It has a bit of a vanilla-like flavor and is very tasty. And I'm not the only one who thinks positively about the liquor, so proves the exports to over 60 countries around the world.
This tiramisu is a bit different from the original Italian recipe because it uses cream instead of eggs. The cream is combined with the mascarpone to make it airy. And instead of Marsala, Licor 43 came in place. It became rich, decadent, and had a nice sweet flavor.
Easy Tiramisu ingredients
A full list of ingredients can be found at the end of this blog.
- Lady Fingers - A classic ingredient in a tiramisu. They absorb the liquids really well (they're also great to dip in your coffee or tea ;-). You can substitute them with sponge cake, pound cake or biscotti.
- Mascarpone - A soft cream cheese, which is made with cream. This cheese is most famous for the use in.... tiramisu (and cheesecake recipes). You could substitute it with cream cheese. The flavor and structure will change a little bit.
- Cream - Beat the cream airy and mix with the mascarpone. This will give an airier cream layer. You can leave it behind though and just whisk the mascarpone with honey and vanilla-extract.
- Vanilla-extract - Gives a delicious flavor to the Mascarpone cream. You can replace it with 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar or the seeds of a vanilla pod.
- Honey - The sweetener of the mascarpone cream. You can replace it with confectioner's sugar. Don't use regular sugar, because it can stay coarse in your mascarpone cream mixture and gives a bite.
- Licor 43 - A sweet and spicy yellow colored liqueur. But you can also substitute this with Frangelico, Baileys, Amaretto. Or go without alcohol and make a virgin tiramisu by using caramel syrup.
