Tiramisu

Sabayon

6	Free-range egg yolks
1 cup	Marsala, choose a sweet one, or use port (Main)
⅓ cup	Sugar

Trifle

450 g	Mascarpone (Main)
1 cup	Sugar
1 ½ cups	Cream
1 tsp	Vanilla extract
1 Tbsp	Icing sugar
1 ½ cups	Espresso coffee, strong, cooled (Main)
1 packet	Ladyfinger biscuit, use as many as needed, or use sponge cake, cut into chunks (Main)
1 sprinkle	Cocoa powder, to serve
1 small handful	Coffee bean, to serve

Directions

1. Place all of the ingredients for the sabayon in a heatproof bowl and whisk together until well combined. Use a pot that fits the bowl comfortably, add water to it and bring it to a boil. Place the bowl on top of the boiling water and whisk constantly, making sure the whisk reaches right to the bottom so the bottom mixture doesn't cook too quickly.
2. Whisk for about 5 minutes or until the mixture starts to thicken and looks like lightly whipped cream. It should have tripled in volume. Remove from the heat.
3. For the trifle, beat together the mascarpone and sugar with a cake mixer until very smooth and you cannot feel the sugar crystals when you rub some of the mixture between your fingers. In another bowl, whisk together the cream and vanilla and whip until soft peaks form. Mix the cream gently with the mascarpone, making sure not to beat the air out too much.
4. Mix the icing sugar with the espresso and place in a shallow dish. Quickly dip the lady fingers or sponge into the coffee. Place a layer into the bottom of your serving glass.
5. Pour over a layer of the sabayon then top with another layer of the lady fingers or sponge. Top with the mascarpone mixture. Dust with cocoa and garnish with coffee beans.
6. Refrigerate until ready to serve. This is also very good eaten the next day - if any survives.
