A liqueur dessert is a sure way to warm up this autumn and this classic tiramisu is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups strong black coffee
- 1/2 cup marsala
- 3 eggs, separated
- 1/3 cup caster sugar
- 250g mascarpone
- 300ml thickened cream, lightly whipped
- 1 large packet of sponge fingers (savoiardi)
- cocoa, for dusting
Directions:
- Pour coffee and marsala into a shallow dish. Set aside.
- Beat egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl with electric beaters until pale and thick. Add the mascarpone and whipped cream, mixing gently until just combined.
- Beat egg whites in a medium bowl with electric beaters until soft peaks form. Using a large metal spoon, gently fold eggwhites into the mascarpone mixture.
- Dip enough biscuits into the coffee mixture to cover the base of a 19cm square ceramic dish. Cover the biscuits with one-third of the mascarpone mixture. Repeat layers 2 times, ending with the cream. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Dust generously with cocoa and serve.
- Variation: Marsala can be replaced with orange juice if preferred.
