An easy and quick tiramisu to make, with biscuits, here the cream replaces the mascarpone.

Ingredients for 8 servings

About twenty ladyfinger biscuits
8 to 10 small plain fresh cheeses
3 eggs
50 g (1.75 oz) of sugar
2 sachets of vanilla sugar
100 g (3.5 oz) of chocolate
100 ml (0.4 cup) of liquid cream
A cup of cold coffee
A little cocoa for decoration

Step-by-step directions

1 Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form with a pinch of salt.
2/ Using a whisk, blanch the egg yolks with the sugar and small fresh cheeses (I advise against using an electric whisk, it makes the cream too liquid).
3/ Add the whipped egg whites and mix gently.
4/ Heat the cream, when it boils, add the chocolate in pieces and let it melt while stirring.
5/ Prepare a loaf pan and line it with parchment paper. Quickly dip the biscuits in coffee (both sides). Coat with melted chocolate. Pour half of the cream and cover with a second layer of biscuits and cream.
6/ Coat the cream with chocolate (keep some for decoration) and cover with a third layer of biscuits.
7/ Refrigerate overnight.
8/ The next day, unmold the tiramisu, remove the plastic wrap, melt the remaining chocolate over low heat and coat with it. Return to the fridge, and before serving, sprinkle a little cocoa on top.
