My Favourite Tiramisu Recipe (with Irish cream liqueur)

I’ve tried a few Tiramisu recipes before and I like this one best. I used to use Baileys in the ingredients but since moving to the UK I found a good alternative – Ballycastle Irish Country Cream Liqueur tastes similar to Baileys but is a lot cheaper. You can get it from ALDI.

Ingredients
1 cup strong coffee, cooled to room temperature
1/2 cup + 1/3 cup Irish Cream liqueur
1 pack lady fingers
2 eggs, separated
50g brown sugar
250g mascarpone
chocolate powder

Method

1. Beat the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl until thick and creamy. Add mascarpone and 1/2 cup of Irish Cream liqueur and beat until well combined.

2. Use a clean electric beater to whisk the egg whites in a bowl until soft peaks form. Use a metal spoon to fold half the egg white into mascarpone mixture. Fold in remaining egg white until combined.

3. Combine coffee and 1/3 cup of Irish Cream liqueur in a bowl. Dip lady fingers, one at a time, into the coffee mixture and use them to line the bottom of the serving bowl.

4. Spoon one layer of mascarpone mixture onto the lady fingers. Line another layer of lady fingers, and add on a second layer of mascarpone mixture.

5. Put the Tiramisu in the fridge to chill (about 4 hours).

6. Sprinkle with chocolate powder to serve.
