Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Hot sugar. Hot sugar sticks to skin and burns far hotter than boiling water: don't touch or taste it. Keep a bowl of cold water close, and keep children away while it cooks.

Method

  1. Beat heavy cream with sugar until stiff. Set aside. Using same beater, beat together ricotta, sugar and sour cream. Gently fold cream and cheese mixes together; add rum. Line an 8 x l3 inch baking dish with lady fingers that have been soaked with the coffee. Pour cream mix over the cake and let sit at least 4 hours or overnight. When set, top with unsweetened cocoa. This is from the Sacred Heart Church of Georgetown CT.
  2. The authentic tiramisu (pick me up) calls for marscapone cheese, which is relatively hard to get and expensive. I have found the following substitute works well. Be sure you use firm or stale lady fingers so it doesn't get mushy. From: Fred Towner Date: 08-03-93
