Tiramisù from the St Regis in Venice

This classic Italian dessert is based on a recipe from the luxury hotel on the Grand Canal. It serves a dozen, so it's the ideal party dessert!

Tiramisù from the St Regis in Venice

Ingredients (12 servings)
350 g caster sugar
12 egg yolks, beaten
1.5 kg mascarpone
finger biscuits (as needed)
300 ml strong coffee
50 g cocoa powder
  • In a large mixing bowl and using an electric hand mixer, combine the sugar and egg yolks, then add the mascarpone and blend until smooth.
  • Dip the biscuits briefly in the coffee and remove them after a few seconds, so they have just absorbed the coffee.
  • Cover the bottom of a glass with the mascarpone cream, top with biscuits (if they are too long, break them into shape), cover with another layer of mascarpone, and finally dust with cocoa. 
  • Serve chilled.

Tip:

If you prefer, you can make individual desserts, as pictured. Prepare the components as described, divide the biscuits and mascarpone equally among 12 serving glasses and dust with cocoa to serve.
