Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 150g sugar
- 600g mascarpone
- 1 packet savoiardi (ladyfinger biscuits)
- 2 cups strong brewed coffee (you may have some left over)
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
Instructions
- Prepare the mascarpone cream:
- Separate the eggs.
- In one bowl, beat the egg whites with 75g of sugar until soft peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining 75g sugar for about 5 minutes, until pale and fluffy.
- Add the mascarpone to the yolk mixture and whip for about 3 minutes, until smooth.
- Gently fold in the whipped egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Assemble the tiramisu:
- Dip each savoiardi biscuit briefly (about 1 second) into the cooled coffee, then layer them in a serving dish.
- Spread over a layer of mascarpone cream.
- Repeat layers, finishing with the cream on top.
- Finish:
- Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
