Tiramisu

Think of coffee as more than a shot of caffeine and use it as a full-flavoured ingredient.

Ingredients

3	Eggs, separated
⅓ cup	Caster sugar, plus 1 Tbsp extra to beat into egg whites
300 g	Mascarpone (Main)
1 cup	Coffee, strong (Main)
½ cup	Marsala, or rum
200 g	Savoiardi biscuits, lady fingers
1 sprinkle	Cocoa powder, to dust with

Directions

1. Beat 1/3 cup caster sugar with the egg yolks until pale and thick. Fold in mascarpone.
2. Beat the egg whites with 1 Tbsp caster sugar to form soft peaks. Gently fold the whites into the mascarpone mix.
3. To strong coffee add marsala or rum. Open a pack of lady fingers (savoiardi) and individually dip the non-sugar side into the coffee mix.
4. Add a layer of fingers coffee-side down to a large loaf pan lined with plastic wrap. Add a layer of the mascarpone mix, then dust with cocoa powder. Repeat layers until pan is full. Dust with cocoa, cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
5. Tip out and slice to serve.
