Tiramisu (tira – pick, mi – me, su – up) is a dessert consisting of the alternating layers of savoiardi soaked in coffee and delicate mascarpone and egg cream.

Ингредиенты

• 2 tsp coffee
• 4 pcs egg
• 75 g icing sugar
• 230 ml water
• 2 tsp cognac
• 200 g savoiardi
• 300 g mascarpone
• 20 g cocoa powder

Способ приготовления

• First of all, make strong coffee. We recommend using a wide bowl, so that the cookies can easily fit in it. So, pour 2 heaped tsp coffee with 230 ml boiling water, add 15 g icing sugar, mix and leave to cool. Meanwhile make the cream. Separate egg whites and yolks, then whisk the yolks with 60 g icing sugar.

• Continue whisking till pale and increased in volume.

• Add mascarpone into the mixture.

• Mix till homogeneous.

• Whip the egg whites to firm peaks. If the peaks keep their shape without drooping, they are whipped correctly.

• Add the whipped egg whites to the yolk and mascarpone mixture.

• Mix carefully until combined, preserving as much air as possible.

• Now assemble your dessert. Take a suitable form (we used a 15x30 cm). Add cognac to the cooled coffee and dip each savoiardi into this mixture for just one second. Arrange them on the bottom of the form straight away.

• Continue till the whole bottom is covered with savoiardi. If you dip them in coffee mixture for too long, they will absorb too much liquid and the dessert will be too moist. It is better not to plunge savoiardi into coffee completely, just halfway will be enough.

• Spread half of the cream over the savoiardi.

• Arrange another layer of coffee-soaked savoiardi.

• Spread the rest of the cream on top. Cover the dessert with a cling film and refrigerate for 2 hours.

• Just before serving sprinkle the dessert with cocoa powder. Use a sieve for a better result.

• Your great, delicate and airy dessert tiramisu is done.

• Store it in the fridge.

• Enjoy your meal!
