Tiramisù

Tiramisù

Prep time: 30 minServes: 8

Pairs with

Tiramisù — coffee, cocoa, mascarpone, booze. A Vin Santo (if you want to stay thematically Italian) or a PX Sherry. Even an espresso martini works if you want to double down on caffeine.

Ingredients

  • 6 egg yolks
  • 150g caster sugar
  • 500g mascarpone
  • 300ml strong espresso, cooled
  • 3 tbsp Marsala, amaretto, or Kahlúa
  • 200g savoiardi (ladyfingers)
  • Cocoa for dusting
  • Dark chocolate for shaving (optional)

Method

  1. 11. Whisk egg yolks and sugar 5 minutes until pale and thick.
  2. 22. Add mascarpone, whisk on low until smooth and creamy.
  3. 33. Mix espresso and liqueur in a shallow dish.
  4. 44. Dip savoiardi quickly in the coffee — 1 second per side, no more. They should be moist, not soaked.
  5. 55. Lay a layer of dipped biscuits in the bottom of a dish (about 20×30cm). Spread half the mascarpone cream on top.
  6. 66. Repeat: biscuits, cream.
  7. 77. Cover, chill at least 6 hours (overnight is better).
  8. 88. Dust cocoa generously on top and shave dark chocolate. Serve straight from the dish.
