Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
600 millilitres Double cream; (1 pint)
250 grams Mascarpone cheese; (9oz)
8 tablespoons Caster sugar
6 Egg yolks
1¼ litre Hot strong black coffee; (2 pints)
1 tablespoon Marsala wine
1 tablespoon Tia Maria liqueur
450 grams Savoiardi biscuits; (1lb)
450 grams Fresh fruits of the forest; (raspberries,
; strawberries,
; redcurrants etc.)
; (1lb)

Directions

Place the cream in a bowl with the mascarpone cheese and half of the caster sugar. Whisk well until the sugar dissolves and the cream is just thick.

In another bowl whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sugar for about 10 minutes until the mixture is quite thick, light and fluffy. Using a large metal spoon, fold in the egg yolk mixture into the mascarpone cheese. Mix together the coffee, Marsala and Tia Maria in a shallow bowl.

To assemble the tiramisú spoon one third of the mascarpone mixture into the bottom of a 1⅘ litre (3 pint) dish that is 7.5cm (3 inch) deep. Taking one biscuit at a time, dip half the biscuits into the coffee mixture and arrange a single layer on the mascarpone. Top with half of the fruits.

Spoon another one third of the mascarpone mixture over the fruit and cover with the remaining biscuits moistened with the coffee mixture.

Spread the remaining masarpone mixture on the top and finish with the remaining fruits, arrange decoratively. Cover the tiramisú with cling film and chill for at least 6 hours in the refrigerator to serve. Serve chilled.
