Cuisine: Italian

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.

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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Chop your pistachios with a knife.
  3. 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.
  4. If you want, you can sweeten your mascarpone with some white table sugar. I didn't.
  5. Gather all the rest of the ingredients and you are ready to assemble the tiramisu.
  6. Start dipping the first layer of lady fingers into the coffee milk. Layer them on the bottom of the casserole.
  7. Spread one tablespoon of Belmorso Pistachio spread on top of the lady fingers, or you can drizzle it instead.
  8. Top with half the mascarpone.
  9. Repeat one more layer of dipped lady fingers, pistachio spread, and mascarpone.
  10. Finish with the final layer of dipped lady fingers.
  11. Top with more pistachio spread drizzle.
  12. Add the chopped pistachios.
  13. Add the powdered cocoa or grated dark chocolate; you can also add drizzled or melted chocolate of your choice.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before enjoying.
