Tiramisu Recipe

1 Put the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl.

2 Beat with electric mixers until the mixture goes pale and thick.

3 Add mascarpone and beat until combined.

4 It does not matter if it is marbled slightly.

5 Whip the cream until stiff peaks hold, and fold gently into the egg mixture.Use a spatula, or a metal spoon.Do not beat!

6 Beat the egg whites to soft peaks in a perfectly clean metal bowl.

7 If there is any grease, they wont whip properly.

8 Make sure you rinse and dry your beaters well.

9 Fold the whites into the cream.It is very important to retain as much air as possible.

For serving you can use a big dish or individual glasses. If using a big dish: Put the coffee and liquer in a bowl.

10 Dip biscuits in coffee one at a time.Drain well.Layer in your dish, covering the whole bottom.

11 Place half of the mascarpone mix on top and spread out.

12 Repeat with remaining biscuits and mascarpone, finishing with a creamy layer.

13 Either dollop the final creamy layer on as shown or smooth into a flat surface. Dust with cocoa.

14 Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but it works quite well if you leave for up to 24 hours.

If using glasses: Break the biscuits up into pieces that will fit your glasses and do the same soaking and layering as before.
