Tiramisu Veloce

                     There are a lot of different versions of Tiramisu. This one is really great and it is perfect with some "biscuits cuillers" or "boudoirs" that can easily be found at the supermarket. The result is really fantastic and it is relatively quick to make!

You will need:

25 biscuits à la cuiller - ladyfingers

30 cl of freshly brewed coffee, strong

4 tablespoons of sugar

500g (1 lb. and 2 ounces)of mascarpone 

2 vanilla beens

14 cl (1/2 a cup) of sherry or vin santo

1 freshly squeezed orange : juice and the zest

100g of dark chocolate of very good quality (70% cocoa)

How to make a "tiramisu veloce"...

In a square dish of 20/25 cm, lay out the biscuits by putting them one over another when there is no more room left and then pour the coffee (with 2 tablespoons of sugar inside) on the biscuits. You will see the biscuits absorb the coffee. 

In the meantime, whip the mascarpone in a bowl with the rest of the sugar. Score the vanilla beans lenghtwise and put the vanilla seeds in the mixture. Continue whisking, while pouring the sherry. Put the orange juice in the bowl. You should obtain an aerial texture. 

Put the mascarpone mixture on the biscuits and grate the chocolate on top of the tiramisu in thin slices.

Let rest in the fridge for 2 hours approximately. Enjoy!
