Yield: 4 or 5 glasses with 3 layers or 15cm x 24cm 2-layer tiramisu

Ingredients:

150 ml Coffee

3 tbs amaretto

1 egg

250 gr mascarpone cheese

2 1/2 tbs powdered sugar

75 gr dark chocolate

2 tbs heavy cream

175 gr ladyfingers

Directions:

1. Make 150ml coffee and let it cool down. After it has cooled, add 3 tbs of amaretto, more or less, depending on your taste, to the coffee. (I used Disaronno)

2. Beat 1 egg until pale yellow, then add the mascarpone and mix until well blended. Add 2 1/2 tbs powdered sugar to the mixture.

3. To make the chocolate less hard, melt 75 gr of chocolate with 2 tbs heavy cream.

4. Now you can assemble your tiramisu. First start by dipping the ladyfingers in the coffee and make the first layer. After that you will add a layer of mascarpone, then a layer of chocolate. Then you add another layer of ladyfingers dipped in coffee and a layer of mascarpone. When you are making a 2-layer tiramisu, you stop here. If you are making a higher tiramisu you will add more layers of chocolate, ladyfingers and mascarpone. (you just need to end with a layer of mascarpone)

5. Cover with plastic wrap and place in fridge. Dust some cocoa powder on top before serving.

tip: tastes even better after 24h in the fridge
