Tiramisù

TIRAMISU’

Ingredients for 8 people:

- 4 eggs
- 4 tablespoons of sugar

- 3 cups of coffee

- 1 pack of Pavesini

- 1 tub of Mascarpone (Italian cream cheese)

PREPARATION:

- Make a coffee, when it is ready pour it in a dish, letting it cool. While the coffee is cooking  separate the egg whites from the yolks.

- Beat the egg whites. It is advisable to work as quickly as possible to make sure the beaten egg-whites will not become liquid again.

- Beat the egg-yolks. The yolks will become creamy, add the sugar and continue beating. Next, add the mascarpone and beat until everything is homogeneous.

- Mix the egg whites with the cream, you need to be very careful. You shouldn't see any lumps of the beaten egg-whites.

- Get a small pie dish . Every dish is perfect but if it is rectangular it is better. Dip the pavesini into the coffee. Hold them in the coffee for some minutes.

- Fill the whole bottom of the dish with pavesini side by side.

- Now add about half the cream on top of the pavesini.

- Depending on the dish and size of it the second layer may need more Pavesini and cream. If in doubt, save a bit more of the cream.

- The next step is to put the tiramisu into the fridge for some hours. It's better to prepare it the day before serving it. Finally you should sprinkle some cocoa powder on top of the dish.

Tiramisu’ is ready to eat !
