Tiramisu Recipe Photo source: Grandmother's Kitchen
A classic Tiramisu recipe. Ingredients3 tablespoons Tia Maria (or another liqueur, but the coffee flavour is really enhanced) 2 eggs, separated 1/4 cup caster sugar 250 g mascarpone cheese 1 cup cream (anything that will hold the peaks heavy whipping cream works fine as will anything 36% milkfat or higher) 250 g ladyfingers (savoiardi) cocoa powder, for dusting Directions1 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.
