Tiramisu

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS:

3 eggs, separated
80g caster sugar

450g mascarpone cheese

200ml strong coffee or espresso, cold

12 boudoir biscuits (ladyfingers

150g cocoa powder

METHOD:

Using an electric whisk, beat the egg yolks and caster sugar together in a large bowl until pale and thick. Add the mascarpone and whisk slowly until the mixture is pale and smooth. Stir in 50ml of coffee.

Whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl, until you reach a stiff peak, then fold into the mixture.

Dip the boudoir biscuits into the cold espresso. Place equal amounts into the bottom of 4 glass coffee cups or small bowls. Alternatively, put the ingredients in a single glass bowl to make one large tiramisu. Gently press the biscuits with your fingers.

Spoon the mascarpone mixture over the biscuits. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour and dust with cocoa powder before serving.
