Tiramisu

In the kitchen

Method.

1. Start with the eggs. Separate the yolks from the whites and set the whites aside: you’ll be whipping them in a moment.
2. Egg yolks and sugar. Give the yolks and sugar a really good mix. Keep going until the sugar has completely dissolved.
3. Time for the mascarpone. Add it to the yolk and sugar mixture and combine well.
4. Chocolate, if you fancy it. If you’re using chocolate, add it to the mixture in pieces.
5. Whipping the egg whites. Take the whites you set aside, whip them to stiff peaks and fold them into the mixture.
6. Make sure the coffee is cold! Let it cool completely before using it: the heat would deflate the whipped egg whites.
7. The first layer. Dip the Pavesini biscuits in the cold coffee and arrange them to form the first layer.
8. Now for the cream. Add some of the cream over the layer of Pavesini.
