Ingredients

Serves 4

3 egg yolks
5 oz (200 g) Mascarpone
15 champagne biscuits or spoon cookies
10 amaretto cherries
½ glass Amaretto or Marsala
10 fl oz (30 cl) coffee
Custard
Cocoa powder
3 tbsp icing sugar
1 tsp instant coffee
1 tsp orange zest (from an organic orange)

Preparation

Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture

Place the 3 egg yolks in a large bowl
Beat eggs to a creamy consistency
Whiten the eggs with the sugar, that is, slowly add sugar while beating to obtain
a lump-free consistency
Add instant coffee, Mascarpone, orange zest and continue to mix The
consistency should be creamy and light

Prepare the Biscuits

Pour coffee and amaretto into a plate
Dip halved champagne biscuits in the coffee-amaretto mixture Let biscuits soak
in some of the mixture without letting them disintegrate

Assembling in a Bowl

Line the bottom of a bowl with champagne biscuits
Spread a layer of the Mascarpone mixture, ideally with a pastry bag
Repeat until bowl is filled, making sure to finish with a layer of mascarpone mixture
Refrigerate bowl for 6 hours

Presentation

Cover the bottom of a plate with custard
Delicately unmould bowl onto plate
Sprinkle cocoa over all
Decorate with a few amaretto cherries

Suggestion

For decoration, you may also add a small fresh mint leaf. Sprinkle the edges of the plate with cocoa before pouring custard.
There are many variations of tiramisu. Don’t hesitate to try a few other ingredients as well. The basic tiramisu recipe is an invitation to creativity.
Red berries go very well with this base. Just avoid adding chocolate shavings or any granular ingredient to the mascarpone mixture, as this will tend to make it lose its foamy consistency.
