Tiramisu

A classic coffee-flavour Italian dessert. It is a must have dessert if you are a coffee addict and chocoholic. Most importantly it is easy to do.

Ingredients:

200 grams Ladyfingers (sweet sponge biscuits) (20 - 24 pcs)
250 grams Mascarpone cheese
60   grams Castor sugar
2                Eggs, separated
200 ml       Strong black coffee (warm)
1     tbsp     Kahlua or other coffee liquor (optional)
A pinch of salt
Cocoa powder for dusting

How to do it?

Cream the egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale. Add in mascarpone cheese and mix well. Set aside.

In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until it formed soft peaks. Set aside.

Gently dip half of the ladyfingers into the coffee just till it absorb just enough liquid. Do not put too long or it will become mushy. Arrange the dipped fingers into a baking dish.

Fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture. Pour half of the mixture on top of the ladyfingers and dust it with cocoa powder.

Repeat the same for the second layer. Put in the fridge to set for 4 - 6 hours or overnight.

Before serving, dust more cocoa powder on top.

Enjoy :-)
