Berry Tiramisu

By polloazul

Ingredients

• 500 * 500 grams mixed berries (I used strawberries, blueberries and raspberries)
• 2 * 2 eggs, separated
• 100 * 100 grams caster sugar
• 400 * 400 grams mascarpone
• 200 * 200 grams sponge fingers (Savoiardi)
• 100 * 100 ml sweet dessert wine (the original recipe calls for 200 ml)
• * Icing sugar to dust

Preparation

Step 1

1. If you’re using berries, halve them, and mix them with the other berries. Beat the egg yolks and caster sugar until creamy and then whisk in the mascarpone.
2. Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl until semi-stiff peaks and fold this into the egg yolk mascarpone mixture. Set aside.
3. Dip each of the sponge fingers for a few seconds into the dessert wine. Lay half the sponge fingers into the container and then add half of the mascarpone mixture and half of the berries.
4. Top with a second layer of the sponge fingers, the rest of the mascarpone cream and finally the remaining berries.
5. Allow the tiramisu to set for around 3 to 4 hours and then dust with icing sugar before serving.
