Treat with a twist: Tiramisu with sour cream

Are you a fan of tiramisu? Here's a slightly different recipe that uses sour cream instead of mascarpone cheese; It's a wonderful combination of a light, soft, and slightly tangy cream layered with biscuits soaked in dissolved coffee, topped with a dusting of cocoa powder; It's a gentle twist on the Italian classic

Instructions:
  1. Sour cream: In a mixing bowl with a whisk attachment, combine sour cream, whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and instant pudding. Whip at medium-high speed until it turns into a very stable, uniform cream.
  2. Assembling the tiramisu: Dip the biscuits in the cold coffee and densely arrange them at the bottom of the baking pan. Pour about half of the cream over the biscuits and smooth out the top layer.
  3. Dip more biscuits and arrange them with about 2-3 cm gaps between each biscuit. Pour the remaining cream over the biscuits and smooth out the top.
  4. Cover and chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours. Sprinkle cocoa powder on top before serving.

Tips and Upgrades:
  • The cake is best served the day after it's prepared, so it's recommended to make it in advance and keep it in the refrigerator.
  • It's best to sprinkle the cocoa powder just before serving.
  • Instead of cocoa powder, you can top the cake with nougat powder or toasted coconut for a variation in flavors and textures.
