EAT | INDIVIDUAL TIRAMISU

Heidi's Individual Tiramisu,

as seen on TLSE's South Coast Travel Edit.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cup warm espresso coffee

3 tbsp brown sugar

3 large eggs

1/3 cup super fine sugar (castor sugar)

8 ounce mascarpone cheese

24 ladyfingers (savioardi cookies)

2 tbsp cocoa powder

2 flakes

Serves 6.

METHOD

MIX the coffee and brown sugar together in a small bowl and then place in the fridge to cool.

SEPERATE the eggs.

SET the yolks to one side and place the egg whites into a mixing bowl.

BEAT the egg whites until they are stiff.

IN a second mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks and super fine sugar together until the mixture is a pale yellow colour and has started to thicken. (about 4 minutes)

WHISK in the mascarpone cheese two tablespoon at a time, until well mixed and fluffy.

USE a metal spoon to carefully fold in the egg whites. Turn gently, so you don't deflate the whites, until just combined. You should be left with a very light pillowy cream.

REMOVE the cooled coffee from the fridge and dip a cookie into it so it is just fully saturated without falling apart

THE aim is for a single even layer of soaked cookies and an even layer of cream

SPOON a heaped tablespoon of cream over the cookies, and sprinkle with a little cocoa powder.

REPEAT your layers until your glasses are full.

PUT the tiramisu in the fridge to set, an hour minimum and up to 24hrs.
