i'm tight. so i'm not going go spend my hard earned cash on a tub of mascarpone cheese unless it's for sale at a clearance price because it's going to go bad in a few more days.
luckily there was some that was going to go bad in a few days at the shops so i got some to make some tiramisu.
this one's an orange/coffee/port variation that's, putting it simply, amazingly good. all i can say is try making this one, or buy the ingredients and make it for me. also try it by substituting the port with some cognac for a more adult indulgent kinda thing. honestly i don't think you can go wrong.
5 eggs seperated
170g caster sugar
300g mascarpone cheese (this'll probably be one and a half packs. use the left over with some baked figs)
strong cup of real coffee
zest from one orange and half its juice
dash of port
pack of sponge finger things
dark chocolate for garnish
start by beating the eggs yolks with the sugar and orange zest. once the sugars dissolved add the mascarpone cheese and beat it till it's all smooth
in a second bowl whisk the egg whites till it's all stiff and peaky then fold it into that first mixture
get a spoon and taste the mixture. now you'll get an idea of what you're going to be getting
pure the coffee into a bowl with the orange juice. add the port to flavour (i think i put about a shot in there)
soak the sponge fingers in the coffee mixture and start layering it with the mascarpone mixture in a big bowl. (or you could do it in a whole bunch of smaller bowls if you want to be that way)
keep layering till you run out of the mixture or till you get to the top
grate the chocolate over the top of it and let it chill in the fridge
start licking the bowl. by now you should know it's good
eat this with a good hot cup of coffee
this is probably one of the most easiest desserts that you can make
