In this video, chef Gennaro Contaldo shows us how to make tiramisu, a simple and delicious Italian pudding using coffee, mascarpone and sponge fingers.
Although a regular sight on menus across Europe and beyond, tiramisu is actually a relatively recent invention and not a traditional Italian pudding as you might expect. Nonetheless, we've taken it into our hearts thanks to its delicious combination of heady flavours.
Ingredients
4 x servings
250ml mascarpone
250ml double cream
1 x egg yolk
2 x tbsp sugar
Seeds of ½ vanilla pod
180ml espresso coffee
2 x tbsp coffee liqueur (Kahlua)
12 x Savoiardi biscuits
Cocoa powder for dusting
25cm in diameter round shallow dish or any shape you prefer
Method
In a bowl or container, combine coffee and coffee liqueur. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk mascarpone, cream, egg yolk, sugar and vanilla seeds together until all well mixed. Set aside.
Dip the biscuits in the coffee mix and line the dish, pour over the creamy mixture and spread evenly all over.
Dust with cocoa powder. Can be eaten immediately or stored in the fridge until required.
