Ingredients
For the Mascarpone Cream
✔ 3 eggs, separated
✔ ¼ cup caster sugar
✔ ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
✔ 250g good quality mascarpone
For the Coffee Soak
✔ ¾ cup strong black coffee
✔ 2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur (optional)
For the Layers
✔ 1 packet (270g) Green’s Triple Choc Lamingtons, each cut into three slices
✔ Cocoa powder, for dusting
Method
Step 1: Prepare the Mascarpone Cream
1️⃣ In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar with an electric beater on medium speed for 5 minutes, until pale, thick, and creamy.
2️⃣ Add the vanilla extract and mascarpone, then beat gently until just combined and smooth. Do not overmix.
3️⃣ In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
4️⃣ Gently fold a quarter of the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture to loosen it, then carefully fold in the rest until fully combined.
Step 2: Assemble the Layers
1️⃣ Mix the coffee and liqueur in a shallow bowl.
2️⃣ Dip each lamington slice into the coffee mixture, ensuring it absorbs enough liquid but doesn't become too soggy.
3️⃣ In a 22cm x 15cm serving dish, spread half of the mascarpone cream evenly across the base.
4️⃣ Arrange a single layer of dipped lamington slices over the cream.
5️⃣ Repeat with the remaining mascarpone cream, then crumble any extra dipped lamington slices on top.
Step 3: Chill and Serve
1️⃣ Cover the dish with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to let the flavors meld together.
2️⃣ Before serving, dust with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for the perfect finishing touch.
Tips for the Best Triple Choc Lamington Tiramisu
