Method
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Repeat with a layer of soaked savoiardi, then top with the remaining mascarpone mixture. Cover the dish with cling film and chill overnight.
- When you are ready to serve, push the cocoa powder through a small tea strainer to dust over the tiramisu.

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!
