Tiramisu is made of alternating layers of ladyfingers and cream made of mascarpone, egg yolk and egg white. The ladyfingers are dipped in cold coffee that is flavored with Marsala wine, amaretto, brandy or other alcoholic beverage. The dessert is layered and then cooled for several hours, so that it is firm. Before serving, the final layer of cream is sprinkled with plenty of cocoa powder.
Ingredients:
- 500g mascarpone
- 4 eggs (separated into yolks and egg whites)
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 40-60 ladyfingers (I bought a 400g pack, and I did not use all)
- 300 ml coffee
Preparation:
Beat the egg yolks with 3 tablespoons sugar until fluffy. Mix the mascarpone until it is creamy.
Beat the egg yolks with 3 tablespoons sugar until fluffy. Mix the mascarpone until it is creamy.
Beat the egg whites then add 3 tablespoons of sugar and stir for one minute more. Add the egg whites to the mascarpone and egg mixture and gently stir by hand.
Lightly soak the ladyfingers in the coffee, one at a time. Place the ladyfingers in one layer in a container. Then add half of the cream. Repeat the step with a second layer of ladyfingers and top with the rest of the cream.
Refrigerate for about 3 – 4 hours. Before serving, sprinkle it with cocoa.
