Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 100 gr sugar
  • 500 gr mascarpone cheese
  • 300 gr coffee coffee from moka already sweetened
  • 2 tbsp cocoa unsweetened
  • 300 gr ladyfingers

Instructions

  • To prepare the tiramisu start from the eggs: carefully separate the yolks. Using an electric mixer in a medium bowl, whip together egg yolks with half of the sugar (50 gr). Whisk until mixture is clear and fluffy.
  • In the same bowl, slowly add mascarpone a little at a time to create a thick cream and set aside.
  • Clean the whisks and whip egg whites with the rest of the sugar until stiff. Take a big spoonful of the egg white and sugar mixture, one at a time, and pour it in the bowl with the yolks and mascarpone. Gently mix them with a spatula from the bottom to the top.
  • Spread a good spoon of mascarpone mixture at the bottom of a baking dish (30x20 cm) and layer it out.
  • Quickly dip each ladyfinger, both sides, in the cold coffee already sweetened for a few seconds. Put them in the baking dish all on one side until you got an even layer. Break the ladyfingers in half if you need to fill in any obvious gaps Spread some mascarpone mixture onto the ladyfingers in one even layer. Repeat with remaining espresso-dipped ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
  • Dust top layer of mascarpone mixture with 2 or more tablespoon of cocoa powder to your liking. Leave the tiramisu in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving.
