Hi Suzzy

That would be great, whenever you get a chance to post it.

I have another very simple tiramisu recipe that I have never had a problem with, if you're interested!

Hi All

Did not get a chance to log on yesterday as I had a manic day. Many thanks for the tips, as I said in my post I dashed to the supermarket to get more mascarpone, normally I would have at least two in the fridge talk about murphy's law. Anyway I repeated the process, beat egg yolks with sugar, this time I added the cheese a little at a time and ended up with a really creamy consistency "phew". In answer to your question (talk about going around the world) yes it was too late as it needed more time to set, so while in the shop got some rasberries, peaches and fresh cream made a very simple dessert by mashing most of the berries with some of the cream layered the lot topped with whole berries and everyone was happy. By the way the tiramisu was really great yesterday. I am making one for my friend for Sunday as she is having some friends for lunch so I will do as you all suggest and will let you know how it went.

Thanks a mil

me too Al85 and yes it does work every time, hope its in time Anna G

Hi,

I know this is probably too late for your dinner party but I have a fantastic recipe for tiramisu that works every time. I mix the eggs yolk, sugar, vanilla essence and mascarpone in a bowl together. I whisk the egg whites seperately and fold the egg whites in to the cheese mixtureand then layer as normal.

Hope your dinner party went well
Al
