Method

  • step 1

    Put the double cream, mascarpone, marsala and golden caster sugar in a large bowl.

  • step 2

    Whisk until the cream and mascarpone have completely combined and have the consistency of thickly whipped cream.

  • step 3

    Pour the coffee into a shallow dish. Dip in a few of the sponge fingers at a time, turning for a few seconds until they are nicely soaked, but not soggy. Layer these in a dish until you’ve used half the sponge fingers, then spread over half of the creamy mixture.

  • step 4

    Using the coarse side of the grater, grate over most of the dark chocolate. Then repeat the layers (you should use up all the coffee), finishing with the creamy layer.

  • step 5

    Cover and chill for a few hours or overnight. Will keep in the fridge for up to two days.

  • step 6

    To serve, dust with the cocoa powder and grate over the remainder of the chocolate.

I felt there was far too much cream, which actually didn't have much taste, if I make it again, I'll use less cream and add the marsala to it. The sponges tasted nice but definitely needed more than the recipe states.

I made this 2 weeks ago for a dinner party and it was a huge success, everyone loved it. I’m making it again for my friends coming over tomorrow night. Hint: let the coffee mixture cool before soaking the fingers so that they soak up the liquid without going too squidgy. Also, definitely make a day…

Easy recipe, made it the day before it was needed which allowed it to marinade perfectly. I didn’t have enough trifle fingers so I used amaretti biscuits in the second layer, used sherry as I didn’t have any Masala.

Lovely Tiramisu and easy to make. I used Tia Maria as all I had in but I think next time I’ll add to sponge too as the sponge was a bit lacking in flavour . Agree this tastes better left to mature after making .
