• 200 g Sponge fingers
• 300 ml Cold espresso

Method

1. 01

   Make the coffee and let it cool. Mix in the liqueur if you are using it.

2. 02

   Beat the yolks with the sugar until pale and fluffy.

3. 03

   Add the Mascarpone Spiga Gourmet to the yolk and sugar mixture, beating gently until smooth.

4. 04

   Whisk the whites to stiff peaks and fold them into the mascarpone cream a little at a time, keeping the air in.

5. 05

   Dip the sponge fingers quickly into the cold coffee, without soaking them.

6. 06

   Build the tiramisù in a dish or in individual glasses: a layer of soaked sponge fingers, then a layer of mascarpone cream. Repeat for two or three layers.

7. 07

   Chill for at least 4 hours, and preferably overnight.

8. 08

   Dust generously with cocoa powder before serving.
