INGREDIENTS:
1 & and, 1/2 cups of strong black coffee (I usually add a few tbsps of hot choc powder to the coffee)
2 tbsp of Frangelico
2 egg whites
1 cup of low fat (light/ diet/ reduced fat) custard
350g low-fat ricotta cheese
1/4 cup of icing sugar, sieved
250g savoiardi/ sponge finger biscuits
garnish with grated chocolate or 2 tbsp of cocoa powder
Questo è Come Noi Lo Facciamo (this is how we do it)....
- Combine the coffee and Frangelico (+ hot choc mix) and set aside to cool.
- Beat the egg whites to soft peaks using an electric beater.
- In a separate bowl beat together the custard, icing sugar and ricotta until smooth and creamy.
- Fold the egg whites into the custard mixture, be careful not to knock all the air out of the eggs, you want to keep the mixture light and fluffy.
- To assemble the tiramisu, use a round or rectangle dish about 6cm deep and 18cm square or 18ch diameter.
- My method is to place half the biscuits on the base of the dish and ladle over half of the coffee mixture
- Follow by pouring over half of the ricotta mixture.
- Repeat the process, laying down the biscuits, ladle over the coffee and smooth over the remaining ricotta mixture.
- Finish off the tiramisu by grating over some white or milk chocolate (just a smidgen, this is meant to be low fat) or cocoa powder.
