Whipped up some tiramisu for a party at the weekend.

Ingredients:


Filling up:

Grated dark chocolate on top & finished:

Now begins the 24 hour waiting game for them to set.... Not sure if we can resist...

Strong coffee and rum mix.

For that amount of cups i used:

6 egg yolks, 3/4 cups sugar, whisked on low heat for a few minutes, until its almost boiling. Then cool, put into fridge for an hour or so.

In another bowl combine 250ml cream, 1 tbsp vanilla extract, whip it until it starts to 'peak' when you pull out the whisk. Add 500 grams of Mascarpone, and blend together.

After the eggs are cooled, add everything together into one bowl. Blend it.

For the biscuit dip I made 3 strong espresso coffees, and added a liberal amount of Captain Morgan You want this to be cold when dipping the ladyfinger biscuits.


Proceed to dip biscuit into coffee (You can either dip fully into the bowl to get the biscuits soggy, or if you prefer to dip just slightly to get them crunchy), one layer of biscuits, then a layer of cream, then another layer of biscuits etc etc. Depending on your container.

Next part is the most tricky. You need to let it set in the fridge for atleast 6 hours. Preferably 24 hours.

Just had a cup with an afternoon coffee... Out of 10 points i give it 8.5 or so. I put a bit too much sugar into the cream so a bit too sweet for my liking. The biscuits, on top of the cup they are crunchy, on the bottom of the cup spongey, best of both worlds! Overall, much better than the tiramisu that i used to get from Tesco or etc.
