This is a wonderful Italian Tiramisu. It is silky and light. Using whipped eggs is a game changer for a fabulous lighter style tiramisu. This will be even better the following day so it is the perfect make ahead dessert.

200 ml strong Coffee or espresso cooled to room temperature

80 g of caster sugar
300 ml cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Separate the eggs
Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add in half of the sugar.
In another bowl, whip the egg yolks with the remaining sugar until pale & thickened. Add the cream & whip it to thicken. Add the mascarpone and vanilla & alcohol. You want the mixture to be lump free.
Add this mixture to the egg white mixture and gently fold to combine. Be sure to keep as much lightness and air as is possible.
Place the cooled coffee in a bowl or shallow small tray.
Take one sponge finger at a time and dip it into the coffee.
Place the biscuit in your chosen bowl or dish for serving. Repeat the process until the bottom layer of the dish is complete with dipped biscuits.
Coat with 1/3 of the mascarpone cream mixture
Create another layer and repeat process with the biscuits & mascarpone. And repeat with your final third layer with the mascarpone mixture spread evenly on top.
Refrigerate for 4 hours or preferably overnight.
