Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

Prepare the soaking syrup: mix 250 ml cold coffee, 100 ml Sugar syrup and 2 tablespoons whisky in a bowl.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Prepare the cream by beating 250 ml liquid cream, 250 g Mascarpone, 90 g caster sugar, 10 g Vanilla sugar, 1 egg and 3 tablespoons Amaretto together.

Stage 3 - 3 min.

Take a little of this cream and mix it with 100 g Pistachio powder or paste (this is easier to mix in if it is already in almost liquid form).

Stage 4 - 1 min.

Pour this mixture into the rest of the cream...

Stage 5 - 3 min.

...and fold in gently with a soft spatula to make the pistachio cream.

Stage 6 - 5 min.

Use a gratin-type dish and arrange the first layer of biscuits in the bottom, after soaking them briefly in the coffee syrup.

Stage 7 - 5 min.

Cover with a layer of pistachio cream.

Stage 8 - 5 min.

Add a second layer of soaked biscuits.

Then another layer of pistachio cream.

Finish by dusting the top with cocoa powder.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Remarks

You will notice, I'm sure, how tiramisu always improves on being kept overight in the fridge.

hi - can you let me know what consistency the cream mixture is whipped to (soft peaks? stiff peaks?).
