Tiramisu was a beloved dessert in the eighties. But it's very popularity spelled its fall from favour. (It got the kiss of death with it became available frozen at the supermarket). But I always liked it and have developed this simple recipe that gives you the flavour but does not involve any much time.

Servings: 4

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cooking Time: 0

Ready In: 20 minutes

¼ cup coffee

¼ cup sugar

½ teaspoon grated orange rind

2 tablespoons orange juice

2 cups (100 g) ladyfingers

1 cup mascarpone

½ cup whipping cream

¼ cup Marsala

Garnish:

¼ cup grated chocolate

½ cup whipping cream, whipped to soft peaks

Combine coffee, 1 tablespoon sugar, orange rind and juice. Crumble ladyfingers into a bowl and drizzle with coffee mixture to moisten.

Combine mascarpone, remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, ½ cup whipping cream and Marsala. Stir until uniform.

Divide soaked ladyfingers into 4 portions. Using a wine glass or parfait glasses, make a layer of half a portion of ladyfingers. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons mascarpone cream onto the ladyfingers, and top with about 1 tablespoon whipped cream. Repeat layers finishing with a dab of whipped cream. Sprinkle with shaved chocolate. Repeat with 3 other glasses. Chill until needed.
