Easy tiramisu

Ingredients (serves 6)

• 500g mascarpone cheese
• 2 tbs caster sugar
• 400mls freshly brewed strong coffee, cooled
• 2 tbs Tia Maria or Kahlua (optional)
• 1 250g pkt savoiardi biscuits
• 80g good-quality dark chocolate, grated

Method

1. Beat the mascarpone and caster sugar in a medium mixing bowl with electric beaters until soft peaks form. Set aside.
2. Combine the coffee and Tia Maria or Kahlua (if using) in a large bowl. Dip 1/2 the savoiardi biscuits quickly into the coffee mixture and then arrange over the base of a 1.25-1itre (5-cup) serving dish or six 250mls (1-cup) individual serving glasses. Spread half the mascarpone mixture evenly over the biscuits. Dip the remaining biscuits into the coffee mixture and then arrange in a single layer over the mascarpone layer. Finish with a layer of the remaining mascarpone mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
3. Sprinkle with the grated chocolate just before serving
