Frugale Tabitha. Tiramisu.

This is one of the nicest things I have ever tasted!   Harper and Scarlett were here when it was served and both tried a tiny mouthful.  After that they all almost just did a face plant into it. All of us had the same reaction!

This is a bit like making lasagne.  After making it once, it's very easy.  The first time you need to go step by step.  But it is so spectacular that it is worth it.

So here goes,  instructions from Tabitha.

Her notes are use a good quality Mascarpone.  Name brand isn't good.  She likes Tatua.  But there are other good brands. 

Beat egg yolks and sugar until pale and thick.

 

Add vanilla and mascarpone. 

In another bowl beat the eggs whites until stiff.

Add half the egg whites into the main mixture and stir gently then add the next half.

 

Now dip your biscuits into the black coffee and line the bottom of a dish with them.

Now think lasagne...  cover these with half of your cream mixture.... then do a second layer of biscuits and a second layer using the rest of your cream.

Cover this and let it set for at least five hours or even better, over night.

Dust with cocoa powder.

The Savoiardi biscuits are also called Lady Finger biscuits.  I have seen you can even get gluten free ones. 

Without Tabitha I would not even think of attempting this but she has convinced me. It is so divine!  

It is warm outside and hence I am catching up with posts!  Now... I need to catch up with some replies!

Thank you Frugale Tabitha!!xxx
