Ingredients

Scale
  1. 8  Large egg yolks
  2. 1 tsp of vanilla essence
  3. 1 1/3 Cup of fine sugar 
  4. 1 1/2 Cups of Cold mascarpone cheese or cream cheese.
  5. 2 Cup of Cold full cream
  6. 1 1/2 Cup of espresso coffee freshly brewed or instant coffee. ( 3tablespoons to the 1 cup of boiling water) They do absorb the liquid quickly.
  7. 1 packet of lady fingers.
  8. 1/2 Cup of unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting the top.

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a dish (8 x 8 inch)
  2. Firstly make the cup of expresso coffee and leave to get to room temperature.
  3. Place a small pot on the stove, half filled with water to warm up. Take a glass or heat proof bowl that fits on top of the pot. (not in the hot water). Whisk the egg yolks, fine sugar and vanilla over this warm water in pot. (its called making the zabaglione. ) The sugar must only melt and become smooth. Must not boil. Must be a light yellow in color. (for organic farm eggs it will be darker yellow) To make sure the sugar has been dissolved tip your fingers in the mixture and rub together to feel if the sugar has been dissolved. If you feel any sugar carry on whisking. Whisk for about 10 minutes until the mixture is thick and foamy. Remove and and stir for another 2 minutes. leave aside to cool. Must be room temperature to mix in cream.
  4. *To make the zabaglione (which is a fancy name for egg yolks whisked with sugar and wine, rum or in our case vanilla) you have to whisk the egg yolks with the sugar over a double boiler. until light pale and foamy.*
  5. This establishes the total flavor of the dish.
  6. Whisk with a hand mixer on medium speed the mascarpone cheese or as I used cream cheese. Slightly until smooth firstly. Then whisk in the cold cream little at a time and carry on whisking. It mixes quickly and be careful not to over mix it as it will separate.
  7. Fold in the mixed cream and cheese into the zabaglione. (egg yolk mix) A little at a time. until all the cream is been folded in. (they must be the same consistency.)
  8. Then dip the lady fingers in the cup of coffee. Quick dip them in and turn them over then take them out before they soak to much. Place them in the greased tart bowl at the bottom.
  9. Layer 1/2 the whisked mascarpone mix on top of the lady fingers. Then layer another layer of dipped coffee ladyfingers over the mascarpone cream and spread the last mixture on top.
  10. Sprinkle or dust the cocoa mixture on top of the dish.
  11. Place the finished Tiramisu in the fridge to chill for at least 5 – 8 hrs.

Then cut in squares and serve. Cold.

Notes
