Ultimate – Tiramisu

Ingredients for 6 servings:

• 500 g mascarpone
• 150 g sugar
• 4 eggs
• 2 pts. ladyfingers
• 300 ml coffee (espresso), approx.
• Amaretto
• Cocoa powder (bitter)

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 3 hours; Total time approx. 3 hours 30 minutes

Make espresso and then pour it into a shallow bowl with a small amount of Amaretto. Separate the eggs. Mix the egg yolks with the sugar and beat with a hand mixer until frothy. Mix the egg yolk mixture with the mascarpone. Then add 8 tablespoons of Amaretto and mix. It is important to get the mixture nice and creamy (without lumps). Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks and then fold them into the egg yolk, mascarpone, and Amaretto mixture. Dip each sponge finger on both sides into the cooled espresso (just briefly) and line the bottom of the shallow bowl with them. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture on top. Spread another layer of sponge fingers (previously dipped in espresso) on top. Sprinkle with the rest of the mascarpone mixture. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours. Sprinkle with cocoa powder just before serving; it looks better.
