Tiramisu

On the Italian theme - another recipe from the daily mail online!

SERVES 8

• 2 medium eggs separated
• 2 tbsp caster sugar
• 1 x 500g tub mascarpone
• 200ml double cream

• 300ml extra strong good coffee cooled
• 6 tbsp coffee liqueur
• 1 x 175g packet dry sponge
• finger biscuits
• cocoa powder for dusting
  

1. Using an electric hand whisk, beat the egg yolks with the sugar, then beat in the mascarpone and the cream until the mixture forms soft peaks. Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks and fold into the mascarpone mixture.
2. Mix the coffee with the coffee liqueur. One at a time, dunk half the biscuits into the coffee mixture and out, two seconds max (any longer and they will fall apart), and use to make a single layer in the base of a 2 litre rectangular dish. Drizzle over 2 tbsp coffee mixture, then smooth half of the mascarpone mixture on top.
3. Dunk and lay another layer of sponge biscuits on top of this and top with the remaining mascarpone mixture. Smooth over, dust with cocoa powder and leave to chill for a few hours in the fridge – overnight is best.

Make it special For smart individual servings, as above, assemble in coffee or tea cups, placing a single layer only of 3 broken finger biscuits at the base of each cup.
Variation Sprinkle with toasted nuts and/or grated dark chocolate instead of cocoa powder.
