Tiramisu

No comments

Easy to make, and a great favourite, I like tiramisu because of its sharp coffee flavour, and uncloying almost sharp tang which the yoghurt adds. Note that the recipe uses raw egg white

Ingredients

250 g/1/2 lb sponge fingers
150 mls/1/4 pint strong black coffee, or espresso
3 tablespoons cognac
200 g/7 oz mascarpone, or cream cheese
200 g/7 oz thick yoghurt
200 g/7 oz ricotta
100 g/4 oz icing sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla essence
2 to 3 egg whites
1 tablespoon grated plain chocolate
1 teaspoon finely ground coffee

Serves: 8

Dip half the sponge fingers in the mixed coffee and cognac, and place in the bottom of a glass serving bowl.
Blend the Mascarpone, yoghurt, ricotta, sugar and vanilla essence until smooth.
Whisk the egg whites until stiff, and fold into the creamy mixture. Spoon half of it into the glass bowl.
