Not quite the recipe that came from Italy, but they sure taste good.................. This is a recipe with no measurements, done by taste, firstly make a cup of quite strong coffee, in a mug half a tablespoon of coffee and a tablespoon of sugar, test it, should be quite strong, leave to cool. You'll need a heap of sponge fingers and lots of shallow tupperware type shallow dishes, better with lids. In a bowl put a tub of Elmlea light double cream(laughingly saving on calories lol)a tub of Mascarpone and a decent glass full of sherry(now the books may say use something else here)whip said ingredients to a firm creamy state, taste it! Pour the cool coffee into a large but shallow bowl, quickly(so they don't go soggy and fall apart)dip sponge fingers into coffee then pop into containers, cover the bottom with a single layer. Cover with the cream mixture, then repeat to fill the tub. Sprinkle on chocolate powder and chill before devouring.
Well it passed the taste test, I think I might have over done how many I made, it won't keep in the fridge for long, couple of days tops and you can't freeze it(that's my story and I'm sticking to it), so tiramisu for breakfast it is then..............and lunch..................
Fun factoid. Tiramisu literally translates in Italian as pick me up. It's a factoid rather than a fact because it's just what I once heard, and I haven't fact checked it
Well done @burnie on making your own. For those of you that don't have the time or can't be bothered we find that Waitrose tiramisu is pretty good Waitrose & Partners
