Method
- Combine egg yolks and sugar in the top of a double boiler, over boiling water using a whisk to mix. Reduce heat to low, and cook for ~10 minutes, stirring constantly with a whisk. Remove from the heat and continue to whip yolks until thick. Allow to cool briefly before mixing in mascarpone.
- Add Mascarpone to whipped yolks, mixing through until well combined
- In a separate bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer whip cream to stiff peaks.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture and set aside.
- Mix the cold coffee with the Kahlua.
- Quickly dip the lady fingers into the coffee mixture – just long enough to wet them (do not soak them!)
- Arrange the lady fingers in the bottom of a baking dish (we used an oval 24cm dish)
- Spoon half the mascarpone cream filling over the sponge fingers. Sprinkle with half of the Whittaker’s Flat White Chocolate.
- Repeat the process with another layer of lady fingers
- Add another layer of tiramisu cream and sprinkle with the remaining chocolate.
- Pop in the fridge whilst you prepare the final piping cream.
- Whip together the double cream and mascarpone using a hand/stand mixer until peaks form.
- Using a piping bag fitted with a medium plain tip, pipe a decorative pattern onto the Tiramisu (refer recipe image for guidance) This step is optional, you can simply spread the mascarpone on top if you would prefer not to pipe.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least five hours before serving (I like to make them the night before to allow the flavours to infuse.)
- Right before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder.
Top Tips:
- Ensure the eggs and mascarpone are at room temperature before making the recipe. This will allow them to mix together more smoothly.
- Ensure you whip your cream slowly, this will allow it to hold its structure.
- Only soak the sponge fingers in the coffee mix very briefly, or you are at risk of them going soggy.
- Use high quality Ladyfingers – we used Savoiardi brand (yellow packaging)
- Use the six leftover egg whites to make our Whittaker's Pavlova!
