A no-bake tiramisu-style layer cake. This one is a bit of a challenge since you'll be making the pudding all by yourself. Once you got that mastered, you're out of the woods since most of the magic occurs in the chilling intervals in the fridge. Good luck!

Ingredients for tiramisu:
Method of preparing the tiramisu:
-
In a deep saucepan, heat 4 cups milk until it steams. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Then mix in the egg yolks and the remaining milk.
-
Transfer 2 cups of the hot milk into the bowl. Whisk or use an electrical mixer to achieve a smooth texture.
-
Tip the entire bowl contents into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk, cover and cook until boils. Stir frequently.
-
Let boil, while stirring, for extra 3-4 minutes, until the contents thicken. Remove from heat and mix in the mascarpone.
-
Pour the mixture into a baking dish and let cool down to room temperature. Stir occasionally to prevent film forming.
-
Once cooled, cover in cling wrap, making sure it touches the pudding, and chill in the fridge for 2 hours.
-
Take out from the fridge, whisk until creamy. Mix the coffee and the liqueur in a bowl.
-
Give the wafers a light soak in the coffee mix and arrange them standing around the bottom of a transparent, deep dish, to make a decorative ring.
-
Now arrange the wafers at the bottom of the dish in 2 even layers. Cover with 2 cups pudding and smooth with a spatula, making sure to press some on the standing wafers to keep them holding up.
-
Now create a banana layer with half the banana slices. Cover with another 2 layers of wafers, and then another 2 cups pudding.
-
Top with the rest of the bananas, and cover those with the pudding you have left.
-
Cover with cling wrap again, making sure it touches the pudding to prevent a film. Chill in the fridge 4 hours.
-
Sift some cocoa powder before serving.
Chef's Tip:
If you find the decorative wafer ring step too hard, skip it and simply layers the ingredients as you like.
