Before I learnt to cook I used to make a random Sunday dessert now and then.

The first dessert I ever remember making was a Tiramisu.

I made an non – alcholic version one and as not everyone in our family drinks and I can’t eat the entire pudding myself.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups x strong black coffee , cooled
• ½ x tsp Vanilla essence
• 2 x packs of boudir biscuits
• 2 x eggs
• 2 cups x caster sugar
• 500 g x mascarpone cheese
• 2tsp x cocoa powder

Method:

• Mix the coffee with the vanilla essence in a bowl.
• Dip the biscuits into the liquid until moist on all sides but not soggy.
• Line a spring bottom cake tin or any dish you have on hand with a layer of biscuits.
• Whisk the eggs and caster sugar until pale.
• Fold in the mascarpone cheese to make a mousse-like consistency.
• Spread half the mixture on top of the biscuits.
• Repeat with another layer of moistened finger biscuits and top with the remaining cheese mixture.
• Cover and chill overnight.
• Just before serving sift the cocoa powder over the top.
