Preparation

Step 2

Step 3

Take soft cottage cheese, add sour cream and powdered sugar. Mix everything thoroughly. If desired, you can pass the cottage cheese through a sieve. This will give the cream a more delicate consistency.

Step 4

Add the banana and walnuts to the cream. Mix thoroughly.

Step 5

Let's form the dessert. First, brew strong coffee and let it cool slightly. Next, take the cookie pieces, dip them in the coffee, and place them in the pan. Next, cover the cookie layer with cream. Then, add another layer of cookies and another layer of cream. Repeat this process until you run out of ingredients.

Step 6

Place the remaining cream on the top layer. Spread it out and lightly coat the sides.

Step 7

Chop the chocolate with a kitchen knife. Decorate the tiramisu with it and refrigerate it for a few hours to allow the cookies to soak in.

Possible replacements

To make this variation of tiramisu, you can use absolutely any kind of biscuit. It can be made with Savoyardi, Yubileiny, or K Chayu. For the cream, it's important to use soft cottage cheese, because thanks to it it turns out very tender.

If you don't like walnuts, you can substitute peanuts, hazelnuts, cashews, almonds, or pistachios. You can even omit them altogether if you prefer. The same goes for the banana. You can either substitute it with other berries or fruits, or omit it from the cream during preparation.

The traditional version involves soaking the cookies in strong coffee. However, if you're making it for children, you can substitute regular milk. This version of tiramisu is sure to be delicious and mouthwatering.

Adviсe

To improve the aroma of the dessert, you can add vanillin and strong alcohol.
The finished dessert should be refrigerated for at least 4 hours. If possible, it's best to leave it overnight. This will allow the cookies to soak thoroughly and become very soft.
It is better to use sour cream and cottage cheese with a high percentage of fat.
For variety, you can add a layer of your favorite berries to your tiramisu, which will make the flavor more expressive.

Storage

Store tiramisu in a container with an airtight lid to prevent it from absorbing odors. It retains its flavor for up to 5 days, provided it's refrigerated rather than at room temperature.
