Tiramisu

Ingredients for 10 servings:

• 400 g ladyfingers
• 400 g mascarpone
• 100 g sugar
• 4 eggs
• 4 cup(s) coffee, strong, better espresso
• 3 tbsp Amaretto
• 40 g cocoa powder

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 4 hours; Total time approx. 4 hours 20 minutes

Separate the eggs. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the mascarpone. Beat the egg whites until stiff, fold in and stir a little more until the mixture is creamy again. Chill. Briefly dip the ladyfingers in the coffee mixed with Amaretto (not too long, otherwise they will fall apart) and place the first layer in a tall baking dish (approx. 20 x 30 cm) and cover with a 1 cm thick layer of cream. Dip the next ladyfingers in the coffee and place the next layer on top of the cream, spread another layer of cream on top and place the final layer of ladyfingers on top. Sift the cocoa powder evenly over the mixture and chill for a few hours to allow the mixture to set. If there is any cream left over, you can spread it very thinly over the top layer of ladyfingers and then sift the cocoa powder over it.
