Tiramisu Giannis style

Spread the love

Ingredients for 8 servings:

  • 500 g mascarpone
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 2 cup(s) coffee, boiled (espresso), cold
  • 4 cl brandy
  • 1 lemon(s), untreated, grated peel
  • 200 g ladyfingers (more or less depending on your needs and the size of the mold)
  • Cocoa powder, unsweetened

Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Rest time approx. 12 hours; Total time approx. 12 hours 45 minutes

Beat the egg yolks and sugar with a hand mixer on high speed until frothy. Then fold in the mascarpone a spoonful at a time. Then add the finely grated lemon zest. Mix the cold espresso (really use small espresso cups) with the brandy. Briefly dip the sponge fingers in the espresso and place them in a shallow dish. Spread half of the cream on top. Repeat with the remaining sponge fingers. Finish with the second layer of cream. It’s best to refrigerate the tiramisu overnight. Before serving, sprinkle the cocoa powder over the tiramisu. This works best with a sieve.
