Irish Cream Tiramisu
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 120 g caster sugar
- 500 g mascarpone
- 250 g lady fingers
- 150 ml Five Farms Irish cream liqueur
- 300 ml espresso
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 50 g cocoa powder
- 100 g dark chocolate shavings
Instructions
Prepare the Espresso:
- Brew 300ml of espresso and allow it to cool down to room temperature. You can also chill it in the refrigerator.
Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, separate the egg yolks from the whites.
- Add the caster sugar to the egg yolks and beat until creamy and pale yellow.
- Add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract to the egg yolk mixture. Beat until well combined and smooth.
Whip the Egg Whites:
- In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Combine Mascarpone Mixture and Egg Whites:
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
Prepare the Ladyfingers:
- Dip the ladyfingers into the cooled espresso and Irish cream liqueur mixture. Make sure they are soaked but not overly soggy.
Assemble the Tiramisu:
- In a serving dish or individual glasses, arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom.
- Spread a layer of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
- Repeat the layers, alternating between ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture, until you reach the top of the dish.
Chill:
- Cover the assembled tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavours to meld and the tiramisu to set.
Serve:
- Before serving, sift cocoa powder over the top of the tiramisu.
- Garnish with dark chocolate shavings.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious Irish Cream Tiramisu!
