Tiramisu is an Italian dessert, it means "pick me up" because there's traditionally quite a bit of coffee in it!

This recipe is just divine 💫

Great recipe, easy to make and very delicious. It's important to beat the cream and fold the mascarpone into it. I do find the egg custard takes longer than 4 minutes, more like 10. But it's worth spending this time making it. Thank you Chelsea!

John Austa

This is so hard to make. I'm Italian and I still couldn't make this. It doesn't even taste like Tiramisu.i

Sandy

I make it often. So easy.

Lou

My usual recipe uses 6 egg yolks and needed a double recipe so used this one, took Polly Murray's review advice and used custard instead of the egg Sabayon, it was delicious and so much less work

Queen Elizabeth the v

i give this recipe the royal pardon for being so utterly hard

Kaye M

Fabulous and easy

Method

Prepare a double boiler. You can do this by bringing a few centimetres of water to a simmer in a saucepan. Place a glass or stainless steel bowl over the top, so that it fits snugly without touching the water below.

Place egg yolks, Chelsea Caster Sugar and vanilla in the bowl. Whisk until thick, pale and creamy (3-4 minutes). Remove from heat.

Place the mascarpone and cream in a separate large bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip to soft peaks. Fold into the egg mixture.

Mix the coffee with the coffee liqueur. Dunk the sponge fingers quickly in the coffee mixture, making sure they are completely immersed. Don't leave them in for more than a second or two as they can turn soggy.

Layer one third of the sponge fingers in a serving dish (approximately 24cm x 16cm) and top with a third of the mascarpone cream. Repeat twice to form three layers.

Sift cocoa evenly over the top. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours before serving.
