Tiramisu

I love tiramisu and have tried lots of different recipes. This one, adapted from Jamie Oliver, is my current fave and is also very quick to make.

You need:
500g mascapone (last time I made it I used 250g mascaopne and 250g quark)
2 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp khalua or other liqueur
1/2 packet sponge fingers
1/2 pint strong coffee
1/4 cup kalhua or other liqueur
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
cocoa powder/grated plain chocolate

Begin by making the coffee. Add 2 tbsp sugar to it and the 1/4 cup kaluha. Pour this over the sponge fingers which you have placed into a serving dish. Leave to soak into the fingers.
Mix the mascaopne with the remaining sugar, kalhua and vanilla. Beat till smooth. Spread over the sponge fingers and then top with some cocoa/grated choc. Chill till needed.

Beware making this with low fat mascaopne. It turns into tirama-soup rather than tiramisu. Tastes OK but looks pretty grim!!
