Ingredients
- 30 lady fingers
- 9 oz mascarpone (250 g)
- 1 cup sour cream (200 g)
- 3 oz caster sugar (85 g)
- 1 cup strong coffee (240 ml), cooled
- 1 tbsp coffee liquor optional
- cocoa powder
Instructions
-
In a large bowl mix the mascarpone cheese, caster sugar, sour cream and coffee liquor until the mixture is smooth.
-
Put it aside until needed later. Line the bottom of a springform tin with baking paper.
-
Cut some of the lady fingers so they fit the hight of the springform tin (keep the tips you cut off aside to fill the tiramisu later). Line them nicely around the edge. You can spread a bit of the mascarpone mixture on the sides so the cookies stay in place.
-
Arrange the ladyfingers nicely along the sides. Don’t leave any gaps. If the last ladyfinger doesn’t fit, lightly scrape with a knife alongside 3 or 4 other cookies you already placed in the springform to make some space. Dip the remaining ladyfingers in the cold coffee for a few seconds.
-
Arrange a layer of soaked cookies on the bottom of the springform. Fill in the gaps with the tips you cut off earlier.
-
Then spread half the mascarpone cheese mixture over the lady fingers.
-
Smoothen the top nicely using the back of a tablespoon.
-
Add another layer of soaked cookies and again cover with the remaining mascarpone cheese.
-
Smoothen the top layer with a spoon. Then chill the tiramisu in the fridge for at least 6 to 7 hours. Let it rest at room temperature for 1 hour before serving. Sprinkle with cocoa, chocolate shavings or both. Cut the tiramisu up into wedges and serve.
