Well I got a little bit of help with this one, from an Italian friend who is amazing in the kitchen. Recently she has shown me some really authentic pasta and risotto recipes and of course - Tiramisú!
This dish is easy, easy, easy to make. It's also a bit of fun to assemble. The recipe is pretty fail-safe and you can play about with some of the ingredients if you like.
Thank you Italian friend for showing me a wonderful way to make Tiramisú!!
Here's how we made it...
Ingredients:
- 250ml whipping cream
- 250gm mascarpone
- 150ml Marsala wine or Whiskey or any liquor you like
- 3 egg yolks
- Coffee
- 1 packet/400gms Savoiardi Biscuits (ladyfinger biscuits)
- 200gm Sugar
- Cocoa powder for dusting
- Make about 300mls of fairly strong coffee
- Stir in 50ml of whatever liquor you've chosen to use
- Whip the cream
- In another bowl cream the sugar and egg yolks together
- Alternate stirring in the cream, mascarpone, and remaining liquor
- Assemble the pudding in a large, flat casserole dish
- Lightly dip a savoiardi biscuit in the coffee mixture and place on the base of the casserole dish
- Continue this until a layer is laid out on the dish
- Cover the biscuit layer with a layer of the cream mixture
- Repeat these two layers
- Depending on how big your dish is, you may have enough to make another two layers
- Dust the top layer of cream with cocoa powder
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least one hour
- When ready serve, dust again with cocoa powder
Buon appetito!!
