Method

  1. Mix the coffee with 175ml of the Baileys in a shallow bowl. Dip the biscuits into this liquid; let them soak on each side, enough to become damp but not soggy. Line the bottom of a 23cm square glass dish with half the soaked biscuits. Reserve the rest of the soaked biscuits on a plate.
  2. Separate the eggs, but keep only 1 of the whites. Whisk the 2 yolks and the sugar together until thick and pale yellow, then fold in the remaining Baileys and the mascarpone.
  3. Whisk the egg white until thick and frothy. Fold the egg white into the yolky mascarpone, then spread half of this on top of the biscuit layer.
  4. Repeat with a layer of soaked savoiardi, then top with the remaining mascarpone mixture. Cover the dish with cling film and chill overnight.
  5. When you are ready to serve, push the cocoa powder through a small tea strainer to dust over the tiramisu.

  1. A really tasty, easy recipe that I would make again. Only negative was that I had quite a bit of leftover coffee/baileys mix because the recipe warned not to make the biscuits soggy so I probably didn’t soak them long enough and when we came to eat it I realised I should have soaked them a bit longer. No waste though – I poured the mix in a mug, added some hot water and drank it!
