Equipment

  • 2 Medium size mixing bowls
  • Electric Mixer
  • Rectangular pyrex dish 30 x 24cm. or an aluminium tray
  • Tablespoon
  • Small sieve

Ingredients

  • 5 XL fresh eggs
  • 1 packet Savoiardi biscuits recommended brand: Matilde vicenzi
  • 1 tub Mascarpone cheese 500g, recommended brand: Polenghi
  • 3-5 tbsp White sugar
  • 700 ml Espresso coffee this should be prepared earlier and cooled down
  • 1 block Milk chocolate 200g
  • Nesquick
  • Icing sugar

Instructions

  • Crack each egg separating the yolk from the egg white and putting them into individual mixing bowls.
  • Add approx. 2 1/2 tablespoons of white sugar to each bowl.
  • Mix each of them with an electric mixer until they become creamy and fluffy.
  • Place 250g of mascarpone into each bowl and mix again for around 3minutes.
  • Slice or grate the block of chocolate into slithers or grate it, leaving a few chunckier pieces for added crunch.
  • Dip both sides of a savoiardi biscuit into the coffee mix, holding it flat for 3 seconds in total then place it into the pyrex.
  • Repeat this process by lining the biscuits up until you cover the base creating the first layer.
  • Get the yellow (yolk) mixture and stir it together one last time with a spoon, then pour this over the top of your biscuits as evenly as you can making sure you cover the edges and all four corners.
  • Gently smooth the mixture over the biscuits as evenly as you can, using a spoon and being careful not to press down on them.
  • Sprinkle a generous amount of the grated chocolate over the top, again as evenly as you can.
  • Sift a tablespoon (or two) of nesquick over the top until the layer is completely covered.
  • Make another layer of biscuits by repeating the process as above then cover them with the white mixture, and again add chocolate and nesquick on top.
  • Carefully cover the tiramisu with alfoil and place it into the fridge for at least 3 hours (minimum).
  • E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate….Enjoy!
