mascarpone cream with amaretti and bitter choccolate

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Usually mascarpone cream is made for "Tiramisù" an Italian cake well known all around the world and Italians make  Tiramisù in different family way!

I suggest to try the cream with "amaretti", you'll appreciate!

Ingredients for 4 cups(1):

250g. mascarpone cheese room temperature

3 whole eggs room temperature

3 spoon of sugar

some amaretti cookies

1 tablet of bitter chocolate 70%

4 strawberries and 4 cookies  as decoration

 

In a bowl beat egg whites with electric whip, they must be soft but firm (2,3)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In another bowl mix yolks  and sugar (4,5)  beat with electric whip  making them light yellow: .Add egg whites and gently mix all with a spoon.Add mascarpone and mix  all for few seconds  so the cream will be homogeneous and without lumps(7).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use the cups that you prefer , I used Martini glasses, and put a cream layer, than amaretti crumbs (make medium crumbs, at least 1/2 cm.), another cream layer and I finish with chocolate flakes. Put an amaretto and a strawberry on the top and serve!

 

Notes:

1) mascarpone and eggs must be at the same temperature to avoid lumps:

2)when you add mascarpone don't beat too much or the cream will limp

3)if  you prefer, you can mix amaretti and chocolate with the cream.
