This recipe is from the cookbook Nigella Express by Nigella Lawson. She has this to say."I've long been tinkering about with a bottle of Baileys, seeing how it could best be called upon in the kitchen, and I think with this, I've found it.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 c espresso coffee, made with 1 1/3 c. water and 9 teas. instant espresso powder
1 c baileys irish cream liqueur
2 pkg 7 oz. each italian ladyfinger cookies or others
2 large eggs
1/3 c granulated sugar
2 c marscapone cheese (one pound)
2 1/2 tsp baking cocoa

Steps:

  • 1. Make the coffee and let it cool( the espresso powder does mix fairly well in room temperature water.) Mix the coffee and 3/4 cup of the Baileys together in a shallow bowl. Dip the ladyfingers into this liquid; let them soak on each side enough to become damp but not soggy. Line the bottom of an 8 1/2 inch square glass dish with a layer of lady-fingers.
  • 2. Separate the eggs, but keep only one of the whites. Whisk the two yolks and sugar together until thick and a pale yellow, then fold in the remaining quarter cup of Baileys and the mascarpone to make a moussey mixture.
  • 3. Whisk the single egg white until thick and frothy, you can do this by hand with such a little amount. Fold the egg white into the yolky mascarpone; and then spread 1/2 of the mixture on top of the layer of ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers, and then top with remaining mascarpone mixture. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and leave irefrigerateer overnight.
  • 4. When ready to serve, push the cocoa powder through a small mesh sieve to just the top of the tiramisu.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tiramisu turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overbeaten the eggs.

I'm not a fan of Irish cream, but I still enjoyed this tiramisu. The coffee flavor was strong enough to balance out the Irish cream.

The Irish cream flavor was a bit too strong for my taste, but otherwise this tiramisu was very good.

Easy to make and absolutely delicious! I used a store-bought ladyfinger sponge cake, which saved me a lot of time.
