Tiramisu Recipe Individual Portions

Mediterranean Dessert - Quick and Easy Italian Sweet

Here's a really simple way to make a tiramisu recipe, the famous and absolutely delicious Italian dessert.
You can put all the ingredients together in one big bowl, but when you make a large 6 portion tiramisu…..it gets spoilt during the serving, and looks a bit of a mess when spooned on to a dessert plate.
This recipe has been adapted to make individual ones…..it looks so pretty made up in small glass serving dishes in its different layers, so much easier for the host/ess to serve as well.

For 6 individual portions you will need:

250ml (9fl oz) Cold strong black coffee

Method

Separate the eggs in a bowl. Using an electric hand mixer beat the yolks and sugar, until thick and creamy. Wash and dry your beaters, and whisk the whites separately until stiff and standing in peaks.
Add the Mascarpone to the yolk mixture, gently folding in a spoonful at a time, until it is smooth.
Carefully fold in the egg whites.
Mix the coffee with the Brandy or Rum, in a shallow bowl.
Dip half the sponge fingers in the liquid, soaking both sides, and use them to line each individual dessert glass.
Divide half the Mascarpone mixture between each glass and smooth over.
Dip the remaining fingers in the liquid and arrange on top of the Marscapone mix in each glass.
Divide the remaining half of Mascarpone between each glass and smooth the surface.
Chill for about 2 hours.
Dust each one generously with cocoa powder (using a small sieve), or sprinkle with grated chocolate, before serving.
