Original taste tiramisu

At the beginning of this year we went for a weekend to Budapest. One of the nights there, we had a very good meal in a nice restaurant and as my husband is a tiramisu lover – we ordered it for dessert. But, it was quite an unusual and tasty tiramisu – pistachio tiramisu. I really enjoyed it. Thus, I’ve decided to prepare it myself. Enjoy this pistachio tiramisu!

Yield: 4 tiramisu

Ingredients:

• 250g mascarpone
• 4 eggs
• 4 spoons of pistachio paste
• 100g sugar
• 150ml espresso
• 2 tea spoons of amaretto liqueur
• 8-10 lady fingers
• 100g chopped pistachos

Step by step:

• Separate egg whites from egg yolks. Beat the egg-whites until they are stiff and glossy.
• Beat egg yolks with sugar until they are thick and light yellow. Mix in the pistachio paste and the mascarpone.
• Into the pistachio-egg yolk mascarpone creme, fold in gently the  egg whites until you get a smooth consistency.

• Take out 4 medium-size dessert glasses. Prepare an espresso (or strong coffee) and mix it with two tea spoons of amaretto.
• Take the  lady fingers and quickly soak each one on one side into the coffee – amaretto liquid. Once soaked, fill 4 dessert glasses with the lady fingers.

• On top of the lady fingers, fill the glasses full with the mascarpone & pistacho paste. Decorate them with chopped pistachos.

Enjoy!
