Tiramisu
Classic italian recipe (the name means "pull me up" or more poetically, "take me up to the sky"). It's similar to a charlotte in its structure: layers of flavoured biscuits between layers of smooth cream.

Step by step recipe

Separate yolks from whites of 3 eggs, we use both.

Beat until mixture becomes pale .

Stage 4 - 5 min.
Tiramisu
Add 250 g Mascarpone a spoonful at a time, until you get a thick smooth cream.

Stage 5 - 5 min.
Tiramisu
Beat the 3 egg-whites until stiff, adding 2 tablespoons caster sugar halfway through.

Stage 6 - 5 min.
Tiramisu
Fold the egg-yolk, sugar and mascarpone mixture into the beaten egg-whites, to get a homogeneous and light mix.

Stage 7 - 3 min.
Tiramisu
In a dish mix 200 ml cold coffee and 2 tablespoons Marsala.

Prepare your serving dish.

Stage 12
Tiramisu

For individual tiramisus:



You can use finger biscuits and cut them to size, but it's easier if you make a full baking sheet of biscuits.

Using cutters, cut round biscuits the same size as your small dishes.

Stage 13
Tiramisu
Dip a round biscuit in the coffee+Marsala mixture and put in the bottom of the dish.

Stage 14

Add a layer of cream.

Stage 15

Dust with cocoa and repeat layers until dish is full.

Stage 16
Tiramisu
Finish with a topping of cocoa, and refrigerate for at least two hours.
Remarks
You can also try the new tiramisu, easier and (maybe) even more delicious.

If you don't like the taste of coffee, you can try an apple tiramisu where you replace coffee by syrup with half apple juice, and Marsala by manzanita, the Spanish green apple liquor.
Keeping
1 or 2 days in the fridge, in a closed jar.
