Beeramisu
Difficulty: Very easy
Serves: 6
Hands-on Time: 30 min
Total time: 40 min [+ 6 to 12 hours to set]
Ingredients:
1 packet of Boudoir Biscuits (aka ladyfingers)
1 cup Castle Milk Stout Chocolate Infused
½ cup strong coffee/espresso
4 large egg yolks
4 large egg whites
½ cup and ¼ cup Castor Sugar
2 cups Mascarpone Cheese, softened/room temperature
1 Tsp. Vanilla Essence
1 Tsp. Almond Essence
Cocoa Powder, for dusting between layers
100g dark chocolate, shaved to garnish
Method:
· Line the bottom of your individual serving dishes with a layer of boudoir biscuits.
· Combine the Castle Milk Stout & coffee in a jug and spoon onto the first layer of biscuits, careful not to make it too soggy.
· In a mixing bowl whisk the egg yolks and ½ cup of castor sugar until light and fluffy. [Use a hand or stand mixer if you have one.]
· Using a spatula, fold in the softened mascarpone ½ cup at a time and then add vanilla and almond essence.
· Using an electric mixer beat the egg whites, adding the ¼ cup of castor sugar gradually until stiff peaks form.
· Fold egg whites mixture gently into the mascarpone mixture, adding 1/3 at a time, making sure to keep it light.
· Spoon the mixture into the serving dish on top of the biscuits to make a layer and dust with cocoa.
· Repeat these layers, depending on the depth of your dish, ending with a layer of the mascarpone mixture.
· Cover with aluminium foil, refrigerate and allow to set for 12 hours or overnight before serving.
· Just before serving, grate some dark chocolate curls or shavings over the top.
