'Make me happy.' That's the meaning of tiramisu. I couldn't think of a more fitting description because oh my, how happy tiramisu makes me! It had been on my 'to do' list for a long time and now I've finally made it myself. And what a result! Super tasty. It's just a little less firm than what you often see in restaurants, but believe me, that doesn't take away from the flavor.

Equipment

2 bowls
mixer
baking dish
two small bowls (1 for yolks, 1 for whites)
small dish
spatula

Ingredients

6 eggs
150 g sugar
a package of ladyfingers
500 g mascarpone
50 ml Amaretto
750 ml strong espresso (about 8 cups)
cocoa powder

Homemade tiramisu

1. Separate the eggs and divide them between two bowls. Prepare the espresso and pour it into the small dish.

2. Start by mixing the egg yolks and the sugar in a bowl. Once the yolks and sugar are combined, add the mascarpone and the Amaretto. Mix everything well. In the other bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff. Once they have a nice airy texture, gently fold them into the yolk mixture. Don't stir too hard or you'll knock the air out and that's a shame.

3. Dip the ladyfingers in the coffee, arrange them over the bottom of the baking dish and pour a layer of the mascarpone/egg mixture on top. Then dip more ladyfingers in the coffee, make another layer and pour a layer over that. Repeat until the mixture is used up; depending on the size of your dish you'll have about 3 layers.

4. Now comes the hardest part: leave the dish alone for 2 hours 😉 Really chill it in the fridge for at least 2 hours so it can set nicely. Before serving, dust some cocoa over the top using a sieve and the feasting can begin!

Cooking mode Prevents your screen from going to sleep

Tiramisu tastes best if it has had a night in the fridge. Feel free to make it a day ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator. That way the flavors have fully developed and the texture becomes wonderfully firm.

Want to make the tiramisu a little less intense in flavor? Replace part of the espresso with regular coffee or leave the amaretto out for an alcohol-free version. That way this dessert is suitable for the whole family.
