Instructions

  • Take off the fridge the mascarpone and the eggs half an hour before. Put the egg yolks in a bowl, add the sugar and beat well until the mixture becomes light and foamy (Fig. 1-2). Add the mascarpone and the liquor (Fig. 3).
  • In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff, using clean utensils (Fig. 6-7). Fold them very gently into the mascarpone mixture (Fig. 8).
  • Pour the expresso with the milk in a wide, shallow dish. Dunk very quickly one lady finger at the time in the espresso liquid, turning it so that both sides are dipped.
  • Line at the bottom of a dish (Fig. 9).
  • Once finish the first layer, spoon half mascarpone mixture over the top. Repeat with another lady finger layer and the remaining mascarpone at last.
  • Cover the Tiramisù and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours.

Notes

An electric mixer is best for this but, of course, you can beat it by hand.
Store in a refrigerator and use within ¾ days.
