Recipe: Tiramisu [edit]

Step 1

Put the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl.

Step 2

Beat with electric mixers until the mixture goes pale and thick.

Step 3

Add marscapone and beat until combined.

Step 4

It does not matter if it is marbled slightly.

Step 5

Whip the cream until stiff peaks hold, and fold gently into the egg mixture.

Step 6

I use a spatula, but you could use a metal spoon.

Step 7

Do not beat!

Step 8

Beat the egg whites to soft peaks in a perfectly clean metal bowl.

Step 9

If there is any grease, they won't whip properly.

Step 10

Make sure you rinse and dry your beaters well.

Step 11

Fold the whites into the cream.

Step 12

It is very important to retain as much air as possible.

Step 13

For serving you can use a big dish or individual glasses.

Step 14

If using a big dish: Put the coffee and liquer in a bowl.

Step 15

Dip biscuits in coffee one at a time.

Step 16

Drain well.

Step 17

Layer in your dish, covering the whole bottom.

Step 18

Place half of the marscapone mix on top and spread out.

Step 19

Repeat with remaining biscuits and marscapone, finishing with a creamy layer.

Step 20

Smooth surface.

Step 21

Dust with cocoa.

Step 22

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but it works quite well if you leave for up to 24 hours.

Step 23

If using glasses: Break the biscuits up into pieces that will fit your glasses and do the same soaking and layering as before.
