All your amazing feedback on our chocolate mousse recipe made us want to keep sharing our little kitchen secrets with you!
Today, we're revealing how to turn a simple tiramisu into a tirami-success, guaranteed to impress even the greatest chefs.
INGREDIENTS FOR 4 FOODIES
– 40 g dark chocolate = half of our incredible 71% cocoa dark bar = a guaranteed winning recipe
– 4 cock-a-doodle-doo eggs (from free-range hens, of course!)
– 40 cl moo-moo milk
– 100 g white sugar
– 500 g mascarpone
– 21 ladyfinger biscuits (including 1 to gobble up as soon as you open the packet, for a little trip back to childhood)
– A sprinkle of fairy dust, or cocoa powder, to taste 😋
READY? GO!
Step 1: After cracking your eggs de-li-cate-ly, separate the yolks from the whites into two different bowls.
Step 2: Roll up your sleeves and, with plenty of elbow grease, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar (come on, come on, don't give up!). The luckiest among you will find, at the very back of a cupboard, a magical electric gadget with two whisks, more commonly known as a "mixer".
Step 3: Since we're not here to suffer, slow the pace and gently fold the mascarpone into the egg yolk and sugar mixture to get a smooth, even cream.
Step 4: Let your mixture rest a little, but not your arm, because now you need to whisk your egg whites until stiff.
Step 5: Use your finest wrist action to fold the whisked egg whites into your first mixture (yolks – sugar – mascarpone). Tip of the day: add a little water to make the job easier!
Step 6: In a saucepan, heat the milk and melt half of your dark chocolate bar in it.
Step 7: Before you drink the lot, dunk the ladyfingers in the hot chocolate and arrange them in a suitable dish until you have a first layer, then cover it with a generous layer of your mascarpone mixture.
Step 8: And again! Repeat until you've scraped your bowls clean: a layer of biscuits, then your mixture, then biscuits, then your mixture, then biscuits, then your mixture, then biscuits, then your mixture, then biscuits, then your mixture, then biscuits, then your mixture, then biscuits, then your mixture, then biscuits, then your mixture, then biscuits, then your mixture, then biscuits, then your mixture …. STOOOOP, ARE YOU CRAZY?! You'll choke on your tiramisu!
Step 9: Dust the whole thing with cocoa powder and let the magic happen in your fridge for 3 to 4 hours.
