Prep Time: 1hr | Total Time: 1hr | Yield: 12
Ingredients:
16 oz. (250 g) Ladyfingers
2 cups (500 g) Mascarpone cheese
5 eggs
6 Tbsp. sugar
5 cups of coffee
2 Tbsp. milk
Cocoa powder
Dark chocolate
Cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
Make the coffee and leave it to cool in a large bowl.
Dissolve 1 Tbsp. sugar in the coffee and add two Tbsp. milk.
Separate the egg yolks from the whites in two separate bowls.
Whip the yolks with 5 Tbsp. sugar with a an electric whisk to make a very frothy, pale mixture.
Add the mascarpone to the egg yolks and sugar mixture, mixing thoroughly with the whisk.
Separately whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff.
Add the egg whites to the mascarpone cream, stirring from the bottom upward so that they do not lose their stiffness.
Soak the ladyfingers in the coffee and arrange them on the bottom of a 9×11 Pyrex or in individual dessert glasses.
Make up the tiramisu by alternating layers of the cream with layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers.
Decorate with cocoa powder, cinnamon, and dark chocolate flakes.
