Cuisine: Italian Created by Vanessa Martin

Tiramisu means 'pick me up' and this dessert is sure to do just that.

Ingredients

6 eggs, separated
1 cup caster sugar
500g mascarpone
Hot strong espresso coffee
Liqueur (as little or as much as you like according to taste – Vanessa loves a mixture of Tia Maria, Kahlua and Amaretto)
Pavesini biscuits (a slim version of Savioardi – which also work in this recipe)
Small block chocolate

Preparation

Beat egg yolks with sugar until thick and white. This will take at least 15 minutes. Add the mascarpone and beat until just combined and smooth.

Combine coffee with liqueurs. Quickly dip biscuits, a few at a time, into coffee mixture. Set aside on a plate to cool.

In a clean bowl, whisk egg whites until thick and stiff and gently fold into the mascarpone mixture.

Layer biscuits into individual glass bowls, alternately with the mascarpone cream. Refrigerate for 2-3 hrs or longer, preferably. Finish with a grating of good chocolate over the top.

very light
We made this for Christmas dessert. It was deceptively light, a welcome addition to an already full stomach. Was a highlight, I used 3 double shot long blacks, and a shot of tia maria and frangelico. Was really easy to make too!
