Ingredients
Makes approx. 4 serves
- 1-2 tsp instant coffee
- 125ml boiling water
- 100ml Marsala
- 3 eggs
- 75g caster sugar
- 250g mascarpone
- approx. 20 lady finger biscuits
- cocoa powder for dusting
- dark chocolate for shavings
Method
- Depending on how strong you want the coffee flavour, put 1-2 heaped teaspoons of instant coffee into a jug or mug and add the boiling water. Set aside to cool.
- Separate the eggs into two large bowls. Whisk the yolks for a minute, then start gradually adding the sugar. Continue whisking until all sugar is incorporated.
- Add the mascarpone, half at a time, whisking into the mix. Continue whisking until smooth. Set aside.
- Whisk egg whites until they form soft peaks. Fold the whites into the mascarpone mix until fully combined.
- Add the Marsala to the cooled coffee and stir. Pour into a small shallow container.
- Put a thin layer of the mascarpone mix into the base of a dish (a wide glass can also work well). Soak finger biscuits in coffee mix for a few seconds each and place them on top of the mascarpone layer. Do this until the mascarpone layer is covered.
- Spoon a little more coffee mix over the biscuits and cover with a decent layer of the mascarpone mix. Depending on the size of your dish, you may want to repeat with a second layer of biscuits.
- Place completed tiramisus into the fridge to set for at least 3 hours, but preferably overnight.
- Just before serving, sprinkle with cocoa powder and shavings of dark chocolate.
