TIRAMI SU   (Italian)

(serves 4)

1 egg yolk
1 tbs sugar
1 tsp vanilla sugar             --- or 2 drops vanilla essence
250g (9oz) mascarpone cheese    --- or use cream cheese
170ml (3/4 cup) strong black coffee
1 tbs coffee liqueur
12 Savoiardi biscuits           --- or thin trifle sponges
1-2 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder

Put egg, sugar, vanilla in a bowl and mix gently to a creamy consistency.
Add mascarpone and fold to obtain a cream.

Put coffee in a bowl with liqueur.
Dip biscuits for a second in coffee mixture, so they absorb enough liquid
to just remain firm and in one piece.

In 4 seperate dishes, build up alternate layers of biscuit and mascarpone,
starting with biscuit, finish with cheese.

Dust each one with cocoa.

Put in fridge to chill and set (about an hour?).

Enjoy!
