Easy Tiramisu Recipe
Looking for an easy Tiramisu Recipe?
Here are two from two good friends, who both assure me that their easy tiramisu recipe is the best. I will let you be the judge. The first one is my friend Susana's. RECIPE 1 Ingredients 500 grams of Mascarpone cheese
4/5 eggs
2-3 heaped tablespoon sugar
Italian savoiardi biscuits
Approx half a glass of liqueur (Susana uses Tia Maria)
Approx 2 cups of coffee (Susana uses instant coffee, but you can use brewed coffee if you prefer)
Chocolate powder (eg, drinking chocolate powder)
Method 1. Separate the egg whites and the egg yolks.
2. Add the sugar to the egg yolks and whisk until the yolks turn whitish. Then add the Mascarpone cheese and fold in gently with a fork.
3. Whisk the egg whites until they form peaks (do not add sugar).
4. Gently fold the yolks + Mascarpone mixture to the egg whites. Do not stir, just fold gently as you want to maintain the fluffiness of the egg whites. Set aside.
5. Prepare around 2 cups of coffee in a big bowl and add the liqueur.
6. Individually soak the biscuits in the coffee and liqueur and line them at the bottom of a deep square dish until you have a complete layer of biscuits.
7. Pour half the eggs + Mascarpone mixture on top of the biscuits.
8. Add another layer of coffee soaked biscuits.
9. Add the remaining layer of the egg + Mascarpone mixture.
10. Using a small sieve, sprinkle a layer of chocolate powder on top until the top layer is covered in chocolate.
11. Place in the refigerator to cool for at least 2-3 hours before serving.
