Desserts Recipes - Tiramisu with Raspberry Surprise Recipe

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 4 tablespoons very strong espresso coffee

  • 2 tablespoons grappa or brandy

  • 10 sponge fingers

  • 125 g/4 oz raspberries

  • 175 g/6 oz mascarpone cheese

  • 2 eggs, separated

  • 50 g/2 oz icing sugar

  • 25 g/1 oz plain dark chocolate

Method:

  1. Combine the coffee and grappa or brandy. Dip the sponge fingers into the liquid to coat them evenly, then arrange them on a small shallow dish or a serving platter, pouring over any excess liquid. Sprinkle the raspberries evenly over the soaked sponge fingers.

  2. In a bowl, whisk together the mascarpone, egg yolks and icing sugar until smooth and well blended.

  3. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff and glossy, then fold together the egg whites and the mascarpone mixture until well blended.

  4. Spoon the mixture over the sponge fingers and smooth the surface. Finely grate the chocolate straight on to the mixture. Cover and chill until set.
