Do not overbeat the whipped cream to fully beat consistency. This would produce an unpleasant fatty sensation to the diner’s tongue.
Make sure all the sugar has been fully dissolved before adding the Mascarpone Cheese to prevent the Mascarpone cheese from clumping.
Alternatively, cream cheese can be used to replace Mascarpone cheese. If you’re using cream cheese, whisk cream cheese with sugar first, before adding the egg yolk (one egg yolk at a time). The following steps are the same from Step 4.

Ingredients
500gMascarpone Cheese
10nosEgg Yolk
300gSugar
400gWhipping Cream
25gGelatin
Chocolate Powder
Black Coffee(Espresso, or anything you preferred.)
Ladyfinger Biscuit
Assorted Fruits(optional for garnishing)
Liquor(optional - rum, brandy, red wine, etc.)
Instructions
With Gelatin
Whisk egg yolk and sugar until all the sugar has dissolved. (Add in liquor at this step, if any)
Mix mascarpone cheese into the batter and continue whisking until everything merges together.
Set aside the cheese batter in the fridge.
Use another mixing bowl and whisk the whipped cream to semi-beat consistency.
Combine semi-beat whip cream into cheese batter.
Fold the mixture together.
Melt the gelatin with hot water.
Fold the melted gelatin into the batter with an up and down motion.
Prepare a clean container.
Brew your preferred coffee.
Dip ladyfinger biscuit into coffee and arrange them neatly as the base layer.
Pour cheese batter on top of the base layer. For a good balanced flavor, I suggest the thickness of the cheese at 1 inch.
Do another layer of dipped ladyfinger biscuit and another cheese layer over it.
Finish off the top by dusting chocolate powder carefully.
Let it set in the fridge for 4 hours or more.
Garnish with cut fruits.
Oozing Tiramisu (Without Gelatin)
The steps are the same as mentioned above, the only difference is to remove the usage of gelatin.
