Tiramisu
Ingredients
3 Egg(s)
100 gm Caster sugar
375 gm Mascarpone
150 ml Strong coffee
50 ml Marsala wine
15 Sponge finger biscuits
Method
In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and caster sugar until pale and creamy. Mix the mascarpone into the egg mixture until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites to form soft peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture.
Mix the coffee and Marsala together in a jug or bowl. Put half the sponge fingers as a layer in the serving dish and pour over half the coffee mixture. Spoon the mascarpone mixture over the biscuits, then repeat to make a second layer of each. Cover and chill in the fridge preferably overnight - this is not essential.
Notes
To make the strong coffee, I used 5 tsp of instant coffee mixed into150ml of boiling water.
If you run out of the coffee mixture, just make a little more.
Variation
Use the mascarpone mixture for any trifle in place of the custard and cream.
