Francesco Mazzei's Marsala Tiramisu. Classic, simple, delicious! Francesco used Marsala but you could also use Amaretto or Frangelico.
Ingreadient :
6 large eggs
200g sugar
1 pinch of salt
240g all-purpose flour
60g cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar
500g mascarpone
350g egg yolk
140g sugar
300ml moka coffee 120ml Marsala wine
Cocoa powder for dusting
Direction :
Preheat the oven at 190°.
Separate the egg yolks from the whites and whisk them with half of the sugar and the vanilla until firm. In another bowl whisk the egg white with the remaining sugar and salt, until stiff peak. Fold into the yolk mixture. Sift the flours and gently fold them in the mix of eggs.
Transfer into a piping bag and pipe fingers of 10cm in length, on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Bake for about 15 minutes until they get a golden colour and are firm to the touch.
Leave to cool down and then sprinkle with the powdered sugar.
In a mixing bowl, mix the egg yolk and sugar. Whisk until firm and fold into the mascarpone previously softened with a spatula.
Add the marsala wine to the coffee, soak the savoiardi biscuits for few seconds, then layered them in a deep serving dish alternating with the cream. End layer to be of cream.
Keep refrigerated and generously sprinkle with cocoa powder before serving
