Mixed Berry Tiramisu

Ingredients:

2 eggs, separated

1/3 cup caster sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

500g mascarpone

2 1/2 cups strong espresso coffee, cooled

125ml Tia Maria or Kahlua liqueur

500g thick sponge finger (Savoiardi) biscuits

600g Creative Gourmet frozen Mixed Berries

Cocoa powder, to serve (optional)

Method:

Using electric hand beaters, beat egg yolks, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl until pale and creamy. Beat in mascarpone. In another bowl, beat eggwhites until firm peaks form
Using a large metal spoon, gently fold eggwhites through mascarpone. Set aside
Combine coffee and liqueur in a 4-cup shallow dish. Dip half the biscuits into the coffee mixture for about 2-3 seconds on each side and line the base of the dish
Top with half the mascarpone mixture. Sprinkle with half the frozen berries. Repeat the layering using the remaining biscuits, coffee and mascarpone mixture. Gently smooth the top
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. About 1 hour before serving sprinkle with the remaining frozen berries. Dust lightly with cocoa just before serving if liked

Tips & Hints:

This tiramisu can be made in any 8 - cup x 7 - 8cm deep serving dish-round or rectangle it doesn't really matter
It's best to make the tiramisu the day before for the layers to firm and flavours develop
Sprinkle with the remaining frozen berries about 1 hour before serving - the berries hold their shape and look much better. It's best to use good-quality espresso coffee - for ease buy it from a cafe.
