TIRAMISU - la cuisine de Gaia

























Make strong coffee, espresso preferrably and let it cool down.
Mix in the alcohol, marsala I think its suppose to be. I don’t know cause Gaia said she doesn’t like it, and makes her tiramisu without alcohol.

Separate 4 egg whites and the yellow part.
put four tablespoons of sugar with the yellow things, mix.
Add 500g of mascarpone, mix again.

Whip the egg whites.

Put some of the whipped egg white, little at a time, into the mascarponemixture, turn it over, don’t mix hard, until all the egg white is all in there – this is what will make the mascarpone fluffy.

Dip the biscuits (I think they’re the ones with a lot of egg in’em) into the coffee, just to dampen them, not soak them. Place them at the bottom of the bowl/plate so that they form an entire layer. Pour a layer of mascarpone ontop of the biscuitlayer. Then spread a layer of cacao on top of it, some of that bitter stuff, the VanHouten or whatever it is. Repeat this until your container is full/you run out of stuff.
And then finally, they say your supposed let it gather taste for a while in the fridge.
grab a spoon and dig in – its good.

Long live cultural exchanges, et la cuisine de Gaia.
