Tiramisu
Serves 4 Desserts and puddings
Ingredients
- 500g mascarpone
- 600ml double cream
- 300ml Marsala wine
- 1tsp vanilla paste
- 3tbsp icing sugar
- 425ml strong espresso coffee
- 2 x 200g packets sponge fingers
- 3tbsp cocoa powder
Method
Put the mascarpone into a large bowl with the cream, Marsala, vanilla paste and icing sugar and whisk until thick.
Pour the coffee into a shallow dish and dip the sponge fingers in it a few at a time, until they are soaked but not soggy.
Arrange some of the fingers in a 26 x 20cm serving dish, just enough to cover the bottom. Spread around one-third of the cream mixture over the sponges. Continue layering until you have used up all the sponge fingers and cream, finishing with a layer of cream. Dust the top with the cocoa powder, then chill overnight, or for at least 2 hours.
