Now, if you are a baptist then you will be pleased to know that I didn't have any Tia Maria or Vin Santo handy so I made a completely non-alcoholic one and added a little lemon juice instead.
Time: 30 mins prep, chill for 1 hour
Serves: 8-10
RECIPE:
1) Preheat your oven to 180 degrees and grease and line a large, shallow tray about 25 by 40cm. Take a large bowl and whisk 110g of caster sugar and four eggs until fluffy. Melt 50g unsalted butter and fold that into your eggs. Sieve 85g of plain flour and 30g of cocoa powder, sieve and incorporate that into your mixture before using a spatula to pour it all into your tray. (It should be around 1cm thick.) Cook for ten minutes, it should springy, and then leave it to cool.
2) Smash up 100g of chocolate and put it into a glass bowl over some simmering water (don't let the water touch the bowl) with two tablespoons of milk. Stir as it melts and then remove.
3) Mix a 250g pot of mascarpone with 30g of caster sugar, an egg yolk and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Then take your melted chocolate and fold that through. Cut the sponge into strips and and line the bottom of a 20 by 30cm dish or 8 small glasses with them. Splash over some espresso and let it soak in. Spoon over the mascarpone mixture evenly and then dust the whole thing with a little cocoa powder. Scatter with some dark chocolate shavings and fridge.
You can't lose with this, it's so easy. How impressive is it to be able to say to your guests that you made tiramisu for dessert? Give it a go!
