Tiramisu

Mascarpone cream over espresso-soaked ladyfingers with cocoa.

Ingredients · for 6 servings

• 500 g mascarpone
• 4 egg yolks
• Ladyfingers
• 300 ml espresso
• Sugar
• Cocoa

Instructions

1. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl over a water bath until creamy and pale; let cool.
2. Stir the mascarpone smooth and fold in the yolk cream loosely.
3. Cool the espresso and dip the ladyfingers VERY briefly on both sides – they'll fall apart otherwise.
4. Layer ladyfingers and cream alternately in a dish (two to three layers), finishing with cream.
5. Chill for at least 4 hrs, better overnight.
6. Dust densely with cocoa only just before serving and serve cold.
