I had some extra mascarpone and thought about making some tiramasu but really wanted a quick and easy recipe. I ended up halving this one and it worked out well (a perfect 2 servings 😋). I had the perfect size dish. The Baileys added a nice different flavor.
Tiramisu (Adapted from Nigella Express)
9t instant espresso
1 1/2 c water
1 c Baileys Irish Cream
14 oz Lady Finger cookies
2 eggs, separated
1/4 c sugar
2 c mascarpone
2 1/2 t cocoa
Dissolve espresso in water in a flat dish. Add 3/4 c Baileys. Dip cookies in until moistened but not soggy. Layer into 8x8 pan for 1 layer. In a separate bowl whisk yolks and sugar until pale yellow. Whisk in mascarpone and then remaining 1/4 c of Baileys. In a separate bowl, whisk egg white (discard other one) until stiff peaks. Gently fold egg whites into mascarpone mixture. Spread half over lady fingers. Soak lady fingers for second layer. Spread remainder of mascarpone over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and chill ideally overnight. Push cocoa powder through sieve over the top and serve.
Wow! Definitely telling the baking child I want this lool
