Tiramisu

This is a different version to normal as Tescos helpfully delivered me two tubs of ricotta with only a 1 day shelf life. Remind me again why I shop online?! Anyway. It seems to have worked and tastes nice.

You need
2 tubs ricotta
1 tub mascapone
250ml strong fresh coffee with 1 tbsp vanilla sugar added to it
1/4 cup kahlua
2/4 packet sponge fingers
2 tbsp cocoa
1/4 cup vanilla sugar
1 tbsp vanilla paste (or same quantity of vanilla extract if you can't find it)

Begin by making the coffee. Once it's brewed add 1 tbsp vanilla sugar to it along with 1/4 cup kahlua. Leave to cool. Meanwhile mix the ricotta with the mascapone, 1/4 cup vanilla sugar, vanilla paste. Soak the spong fingers briefly in the coffee and layer into a serving dish. Spoon the cheese mixture on top, dust over the cocoa and leave to chill before scoffing. Inauthentic, calorific and lovely.
