Tiramisu

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 500 g mascarpone
• 100 g powdered sugar
• 200 g ladyfingers
• 4 egg yolks
• 2 egg whites
• 3 cup(s) coffee, boiled, cooled
• 2 tbsp Amaretto, or 3
• Cocoa powder, unsweetened, for sprinkling

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 4 hours; Total time approx. 4 hours 30 minutes

as good as at the Italian

Beat the egg yolks and powdered sugar until fluffy and white. Stir in the Amaretto. Carefully stir in the mascarpone. Don’t use a mixer, or the mixture will become runny; use a large whisk or wooden spoon instead. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and fold in. Briefly dip the sponge fingers in cold coffee and let them drain slightly on kitchen paper. Place a layer of cream in a dish, then spread a layer of sponge fingers on top, and repeat until all the filling is used up. Chill for 2-4 hours (ideally overnight), then sprinkle with cocoa powder just before serving. It really is as good as the Italian version!
