4 egg yolks

50 gm castor sugar

Instruction:

1. Beat mascarpone cheese. Set aside.

3. Beat egg yolks with castor sugar and vanilla extract until frothy and begin to thicken, then continue beating in a double boiler until the batter is warm to the touch. Remove from heat while continue beating until the batter reaches room temperature again. Turn off the mixer.
4. Fold mascarpone cheese into whipped cream, blend well using spatula or electric mixer at lowest speed. Fold in yolk batter, blend well.

Assembly:

1. Mix sugar, coffee, set aside.
2. Prepare rings, or springform pan, or tall glasses. Put one sheet of cake in a ring/pan.

3. Dip the biscuits in coffee mixture so it absorbs some liquid but still firm enough to hold its shape. Arrange the biscuit in a tall glass or ring or pan.

4. Pour 1/2 or 1/3 of tiramisu cream on the cake/biscuit base, level the surface with spatula. 5. Make 2 or 3 layers of these.
