Tiramisu, Mexican Rice, and Taco Meat

Alright! I owe you guys a post! I've been super busy lately so I haven't been able to cook anything new. So this post will be about my favorite dessert, tiramisu, and a quick recipe to some yummy Mexican food.

Let's start with dessert! Tiramisu is a yummy coffee(rum optional) mousse cake with ladyfingers as the cake. Its really simple to make and takes less than 25 mins to prepare. Here's the recipe:

Tiramisu 
1 tub mascarpone cheese (400 grams)       
4 eggs, separated     
4 tbls sugar plus 1 tsp for the coffee           
1 cup strong coffee  
1 packet ladyfingers      
cocoa for sprinkling

Mix egg yolks with 4 tbls. of sugar until creamy.  Add mascarpone and mix well. Whisk egg whites until you see stiff peaks, fold into cream mixture.  Mix coffee and rum, add some sugar.  Dip ladyfingers and make layers. Spread cream mixture and put in freezer for 30 minutes. Before serving sprinkle the cake with cocoa.

The second part to this post is simple, quick and yummy! I make Mexican rice often and all I use is rice and Knorr Tomato and Chicken Boullion. Basically, add about 2 tbsp of of oil to a pot. Add your rice and let it cook for a couple of minutes until the rice is turning golden and crisp. Add the amount of water indicated on the rice package. Add 1 tbsp of boullion per cup of water used. Bring it to a boil and then lower your heat and let it simmer for 20 mins. After 20 mins, take it off the heat and let it sit for 10 mins. And that's all to it.

Now to the meat. I buy "diezmillo/diesmillo" meat from the Mexican store. I ask them to grind it up for me. If not, you can dice it up real good. Like mince it all. Add it to your pan and add about 1tbsp of Knorr chicken boullion. Cook it up and once it's done, you're done. Nothing special, super easy and overall, delish!
