The story behind
Let me tell you, this tiramisu is the king of my gatherings. It brings back memories of an afternoon when I wanted to impress my friends and ventured to prepare it following the advice of an old Italian cookbook. What I like most is that perfect balance between the bitterness of the coffee and the sweetness of the mascarpone cream. It's ideal to top off a weekend meal or even as a mid-afternoon treat. It goes wonderfully with a Moscato-type wine or, if you prefer something non-alcoholic, a strong espresso coffee is its soulmate. It's one of those desserts that are best enjoyed sharing the last spoonful with someone special.
Instructions
-
1Start by beating the yolks with the sugar in a bowl over a water bath (double boiler) until pale and thick.
-
2Remove from heat and mix with the mascarpone using gentle movements so the cream doesn't lose its airiness.
-
3Mix the cold coffee with the liqueur and quickly dip the ladyfingers so they get wet but don't fall apart.
-
4In a dish, place a layer of ladyfingers and then cover with half of the mascarpone mixture.
-
5Repeat with another layer of ladyfingers and finish with the rest of the cream, smoothing the surface well.
-
6Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and, just before serving, sprinkle a generous rain of cocoa powder on top.
