Tiramisu

Serves 6-8

• 250 gm mascarpone cheese
• 3 eggs, separated
• 3 T sugar
• 30 savoiardi biscuits
• 12 cups of coffee (small cup espresso) add a little sugar
• dark, bitter cocoa
• optional: coffee liquor or other sweet liquor such as “Amaretto”.

Prepare the coffee and let it cool. Add liquor to the coffee if you wish. Mix together the egg yolks, mascarpone cheese and sugar. Beat egg whites to a fluffy snow, add them to the egg yolk mixture and gently mix to a consistent 'crema'. Soak the savoiardi biscuits in the coffee. Place a layer of coffee soaked savoiardi in the bottom of a rectangular container (similar to a small lasagna dish) and top with a layer of crema. Repeat this, ending up with a layer of crema. Lightly sprinkle the cocoa on top and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Buon appetito!

Add Massimo's secret ingredient - NUTELLA! Decrease the amount of mascarpone

cheese to 150 gm and mix it with 100 gm of nutella.

Delicioso!
