Tiramisu

Ingrédients

5 eggs, separated (only use 3 of the whites)

5 tablespoons sugar

500gm / 17.5 oz marscapone

1 pint of strong espresso coffee

Savoiardi (Ladyfinger) biscuits

Grated chocolate

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar.

Blend in the marscapone — don't mix too much or it will thicken too much.

In another bowl, whisk 3 of the egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the marscapone mixture.

Dip the savoiardi biscuits one at a time in the coffee, and layer a large shallow dish.

Add some of the marscapone mixture on top. Make another layer of biscuits and marscapone mixture.

Put the dish in the fridge for a few hours.

Before serving, cover with a layer of grated chocolate.

TIRAMISU ALLA FRAGOLE: Make a sauce with strawberries (Reeping some lumps), sugar and a few squeezes of lemon juice. Use instead of coffee.

TIRAMISU CAN BE FROZEN AHEAD OF TIME.
