I love love love dessert. Last week I went out for dinner to a little traditional Italian bistro and my Dad ordered Tiramisu and I tasted it and I've been thinking about it ever since... So when I went to the shop this afternoon, I walked past a packet of finger biscuits, and there we go I just had to make Tiramisu as a little treat for this evening. This recipe is easy and amazingly delicious, give it a try...
Tiramisu
Ingredients: (Serves 6)
- 250ml espresso (or instant coffee made with 250ml of water and 7 teaspoons of coffee)
- 125ml Tia Maria Liqueur
- 200g Italian Finger Biscuits
- 1 egg
- 35g Castor sugar
- 250g Mascapone
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Method
- Mix the coffee and half of the Tia Maria in a shallow bowl.
- Dip the biscuits into the liquid, let them soak on each side enough
to become damp but not too soggy. Line the bottom of a shallow dish with
one layer of the soaked biscuits.
- Separate the eggs, whisk the yolk and the sugar until thick and pale yellow then fold in the remaining Tia Maria and the Mascarpone to make a mousse mixture.
- Whisk the egg white until think and frothy.
- Fold the egg white into the Mascarpone mixture then spread half over the layer of biscuits.
- Repeat with another layer of soaked Biscuits then top with the remaining Mascarpone mixture.
- Cover the dish with cling wrap and leave in the fridge (over night
is ideal but i only left mine for 6 hours and was still divine).
- When ready to serve, sieve some cocoa on top on the tiramisu
Mmmmm!
