Comfort Food Tiramisu

You need

Preparation time : 20 min

Chilling time : 12 hours

2 packages biscotti, less biscotti make the tiramisu softer, creamier

500 grams | 2 cups Mascarpone cheese
4 large eggs
60 grams | ¼ cup sugar
¼ liter | 8 oz heavy cream
150 ml | ⅔ cup coffee
Amaretto, Cognac
Unsweetened cocoa powder

Separate the egg yolks from the whites and mix the egg yolk with the sugar until light yellow.
Add the mascarpone, a little Amaretto, if you like (for children I leave the liquor away all
together).
Whip the heavy cream and the egg whites in separate bowls, and carefully fold first the
whipped cream and then the stiff egg whites with the mascarpone mix.
Mix the coffee together with the liquor in a shallow dish. Then quickly dip the biscotti in the
coffee mixture on both sides and carefully arrange the first layer in a serving dish.
After the first layer of biscotti, add a layer of cream, then another layer of biscotti and another
layer of cream to finish. Cocoa powder is sprinkled over the top layer, really easy if you use a
small sieve and tap with a spoon on it to get it where you want it not all over the place…
Then chill for 12 hours, best when chilled over night if you manage to wait that long, you can
eat it the same day if get up early in to make it.
