Marscarpone Filling

[Oregon Blues]

I had a tub of tiramisu flavored Marscarpone cheese. Since we eat gluten-free, lady fingers are put of the question, and thus, no tiramisu.

I baked a layer cake.

The marscarpone went into the mixer to soften and I add 2 tablespoons of still hot home made vanillas pudding to thin it. The pudding was made with 2 Tablespoons of Kahlua instead of vanilla.

The cheese filling was cooled, which firmed it up, and went between the layers and then I frosted with a chocolate butter cream frosting, made with Kahlua instead of vanilla. I made the frosting thin so that I could pour it into the top and it ran down the sides, with a drippy look.

Then when it was all cool. I grated some semisweet chocolate over the top for fancy.

It made a very luxurious cake. very suitable to serve to guests you wish to impress.

Now, I'm sitting here in the office, eating my sandwich, and now I'm wondering, WHERE'S MY DESSERT!

That sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing!

I have recently had to switch to gluten-free living. That sounds delicious.
I made a great homemade Dolce De Leche the other day that I need to use up. It would be good in the marscapone, since I don't have Kahlua.
Thanks for the idea! Now I know what to bring to band practice.

I am also gluten free. Sounds like your like your cake turned out very yummy.

If you want to try making ladyfingers I have a link for making gluten free ladyfingers that I haven't yet tried. Thought it looked good to make one of these times just haven't gotten around to it yet.
Here is the page if your interested. . I am curious as to how good they are. I thought the recipe looked promising and will try making them one of these times.

I've never been tempted to make lady fingers because I would have to buy equipment that wouldn't be used for anything else. I've gone my entire life without a need for a pastry bag or piping tips.

I don't even have to try them to know that homemade would be better than anything bought at any store.

Oh wait. If I had a pastry bag I could make Pavlova. Berries will be ripe soon.

For years my pastry bag = gallon (freezer bag is best) ziplock with corner tip cut off. I finally actually bought one as I now am doing a number of things that are piped. Eclairs, creme puffs, meringue cookies, danish, etc...Ziplock bag works pretty well just don't cut to much off to start. Just cut a tiny bit off then check the hole size and cut a bit more if needed.

You don't even need a tip just try to make the cut straight as possible and then you naturally have a plain round tip in any size depending on how high you cut it.

Quote: I do this all the time.
But, I love my pastry bags. Great for putting marscapone layer in the lasagna, and I am addicted to homemade French Macarons. Yummy. And, gluten-free.

I just got a new job today cooking at a gluten free bakery/snack facility that distributes all over New England. Now my work won't compete with my efforts to be gluten-free!
