I post the recipe of one of my favourite desserts. Tiramisù literally means “pick me up” and if you try it you’ll understand why! Thanks to Maria for helping me and shooting the beautiful pictures.

Ingredients
500 gr. of mascarpone cheese
4 eggs
100 gr. of sugar
400/500 gr. of ladyfingers biscuits (savoiardi)
several cups of coffee
dark chocolate or cocoa powder to sprinkle

Preparation
1. Start by preparing a strong Italian coffee – this is always a good start for anything!
2. Separate the yolks from the whites.
3. Mix the yolks with the sugar, then add the mascarpone.
4. Beat egg whites until stiff, then gently fold in the mix. The cream is ready!
5. Soak the ladyfingers in the coffee and line them up in the dish.
6. Spread the cream over the biscuits to form a layer and dust it with grated dark chocolate or cocoa powder at the end.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to form 1 or 2 layers.
8. Chill the tiramisù in the fridge for at least 2 hours (even better overnight) before serving.
