Equipment

  • Small or large casserole We made a small one but you can double or triple the recipe.
  • medium bowl
  • mocha pot or you can buy a single or double shot espresso
  • 2 tablespoons

Ingredients
  

  • 250 gr Mascarpone 1 container
  • 12 Savoiardi or lady fingers biscuits
  • 1 espresso about 30 ml
  • 1 bowl milk regular is fine
  • 2 tbsp Belmorso 45% Sicilian Pistachio Spread or this unsweetened one Belmorso Sicilian 100% Pistachio Butter
  • 1 handful Pistachio nuts without the shell
  • Chocolate spread, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, or shredded chocolate for topping I used a tablespoon nutella but I suggest dark chocolate, if you like it - either powdered or grated.

Instructions
 

  • Add the espresso to your bowl with milk and mix well. Heat it for 30 seconds in the microwave, so it's warm but not piping hot.

  • Choose your casserole. If you prefer, you can also make two portions into large dessert glasses. That's how I usually make my healthy tiramisu portions.
  • If you want, you can sweeten your mascarpone with some white table sugar. I didn't.
