Tiramisu

Laura Sharrad

Ingredients:

  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 6 tbsp caster sugar
  • 500 g mascarpone cream
  • 500ml espresso coffee
  • 80ml marsala
  • 500g savoiardi biscotti ( 1 large packet )
  • Dark chocolate, to grate
  • Cocoa powder, to dust

Method:

  1. Beat the egg yolks and half the sugar in a bowl for 5 minutes until thick and fluffy, and tripled in size. Add the mascarpone and beat until it is fully incorporated.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, add the remaining sugar and keep whisking until the sugar has dissolved. Fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture.
  3. In another bowl, mix the coffee and rum/marsala. Dip the biscuits in the coffee and rum mixture. Arrange a layer of biscuits in the base of a 1.5 litre capacity bowl or serving dish, then spoon over some of the mascarpone filling, grate some dark chocolate on top, and repeat the layers until your bowl of choice is filled to the top.
  4. Finish with the mascarpone mixture. Grate more chocolate over the top and chill in the fridge to set, preferably overnight.

Our friends at Wine Selectors suggest pairing this dish with a Liqueur Topaque.
