Time 20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large eggs
500 g cream cheese (some vanilla essence may be added)
85 g sugar
500 g ladyfingers
1/2 pint freshly made strong black coffee
3 -4 tablespoons brandy or 3 -4 tablespoons sherry wine
2 -4 tablespoons cocoa

Steps:

  • Make the Tiramisu at least one day before it is needed and store covered in the fridge.
  • Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until light, then beat in the cheese, beating until smooth.
  • Whisk the whites until stiff but not dry, and then fold these into the mixture.
  • The whites will lose most of their volume and the finished result will be a softer cream rather than a mousse.
  • Mix your chosen spirit with the coffee.
  • Dip the biscuits one at a time into the coffee and arrange half of them in a single layer in a serving dish. (I normally use a Pyrex bowl that's about 10 inches in diameter and 3 inches high.)
  • Spread half of the cream mixture over them.
  • Now continue with the remaining fingers, pouring on any leftover coffee.
  • Spread the second half of the cream over the top and sprinkle liberally with cocoa powder.
  • Cover and store in the fridge for at least 24 hours.
