Beeramisu - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 lb mascarpone cheese
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 eggs, beaten (hs note ( leave these out if you are worried about eating raw eggs, it's still tasty)
1 tablespoon vanilla
3/4 cup heavy cream, whipped
48 french-style ladyfinger cookies (hs note ( I used less, one 7 ounce package)
6 ounces porter
1/2 cup brewed coffee, the stronger the better
1/2 cup cocoa
Preparation
-
In a large bowl mix together the mascarpone, sugar, beaten eggs and vanilla.
Fold in the whipped cream. Set this mixture aside.
In a shallow dish stir together the Porter beer and the brewed coffee, Dip the ladyfingers cookies into the coffee mixture (note: if you are using regular non-Italian ladyfingers make it a quick dunk).
Don't let the ladyfingers get soggy.
Arrange them in a single layer in a glass casserole dish (note: 8x8 is prob. fine).
Spread 1/2-inch layer of mascarpone mixture on top of the ladyfingers.
Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cocoa.
Repeat this for the second layer.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving.
