FeminaIngredients
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate, shaved
- pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 shots Italian Marsala (or Baileys)(optional)
- 4 ounces sugar
- 2 tablespoons sugar (for coffee)
- 3 cups brewed and cooled coffee
- 14 ounces Ladyfinger biscuits
- 5 eggs, separated
- 8 ounces Mascarpone cheese
Instructions
Step 1
1. Make the coffee in the suggested coffee maker, and then pour it into a bowl and leave it to one side to cool. One can sweeten their coffee according to taste at this point.
Step 2
2. Whisk the egg yolks with two ounces of the sugar until a pallid and cream-like mixture is created. In a separate bowl, use a wooden spoon to remove any lumps from the Mascarpone, before adding the cheese into the egg yolk mixture. Combine the ingredients thoroughly.
Step 3
3. Again, in a separate bowl, combine the whites of the eggs, the salt, and the remaining amount of the sugar, and whisk until the mixture is thicker and a little fluffy. Combine the two created mixtures and then add the alcohol, is one has decided to use any, of course.
Step 4
4. Take the biscuits and lower them into the coffee before laying them across the surface of a 7 by 11 glass tray. One should ensure that when lowering the biscuits into the coffee they don't soak the biscuits to breaking point. Upon the bottom layer of biscuits add a layer of the Mascarpone mixture. Dust generously with cocoa powder.
Step 5
5. Lower some more biscuits in the coffee and then create another layer with them, topping again with Mascarpone, cocoa powder, and the shaved chocolate.
Step 6
6. Use clingfilm to seal the Tiramisu and then chill in the fridge for at least four hours.
