Pull me up / Tiramisu


Sun is shining again in Dublin! to celebrate we will make a good Tiramisu today!!

What you will need is an electrical whip for the eggs, a bowl and a baking tray to put the cake when ready. And, of course, the

Ingredients: (4 people)

  • 3 eggs
  • Mascarpone, 250 gr. (no, you can`t do it with different types of cheese, I`m sorry)
  • Sugar, 60 gr
  • Biscuits, they have to absorb the coffee..We normally use the Sponge fingers, "Savoiardi"
  • Coffee, let`s say a cup of it, or something like that. 
  • Cocoa powder




What to do now: first of all we open the eggs, paying attention in keeping separate the white parts from the yolks. We always have to be careful with eggs, precise like surgeons and quick like samurai, otherwise pieces of the eggshell will fall in the bowl with the yolks, and you will be wasting the next 40 minutes trying to get them out of it ( this always happen with Carbonara sauce too).

After that we can replace our Katana, put the sugar in the yolk`s bowl and blend. Than add the mascarpone and blend again. If you have a moka for the coffee you can prepare it, if you use Nescafe (which I don`t recommend) you can turn on the kettle. If you have a coffee machine, high five! Then, with the whip, beat the egg whites until stiff, and put them in the bowl with the rest of the stuff. Stir well now, until your arm starts hurting!

Here we are, your cream is ready. Taste it, and if it tastes bad it means that you used salt instead of sugar.. if it is good on the other hand we can finish the recipe.

Time to use biscuits. First of all we have to cover the baking pan with a first layer of sponge fingers, and spread over it a little bit of coffee, not to much because we need the first layer to be solid. Then we cover with cream, and add another layer of biscuits, this time with more coffee (don`t go too far, though) and cover again with more cream. If you still have biscuits and cream you can set up a third layer.

At the end, cover with cocoa powder and put your creature in the fridge for at least a couple of ours before eating!
