Recipe
Ingredients
1 packet 200g (About 24) Lady Finger (Savoiardi) biscuits
500g Mascarpone Cheese
125g Icing Sugar
5 Egg Yolks
3 Egg Whites
200g Espresso Strength Coffee (cooled)
40g Grated Dark Chocolate
Cocoa Powder for Dusting
Method
Make the coffee and leave to cool.
Beat the mascarpone in a bowl for 2 minutes until its smooth and warmed up a bit.
In a separate bowl whisk the egg yolks and icing sugar together for 5 minutes until pale and at least doubled in volume.
Separately whisk the egg white to soft peaks.
Add the whisked yolks and sugar to the cheese and whisk together until well combined and you have soft peaks.
Fold in the whisked egg white.
Briefly dunk the biscuits in the coffee and make a layer in the bottom of your serving dish. Add a layer of the mascarpone cream and then sprinkle with half
the grated chocolate.
Add two more layers of biscuits and cream. Cover and let the tiramisu rest for at least 24hrs in the fridge. This allows moisture to hydrate the biscuits and create the optimum texture.
Dust with cocoa before serving.
