How To Make Hairy Bikers Tiramisu

Prepare The Welsh Cakes:

  1. Place the raisins in a small saucepan and pour in the whiskey. Heat until the whiskey begins to boil, then remove from heat and let it infuse for 1 hour.
  2. If there is any liquid left, strain the raisins and discard the liquid.
  3. In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt (add spices if using). Add the chilled butter and rub it into the mixture with your fingertips until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  4. Add the drained raisins and beaten egg. Mix until it starts to form a dough. Chill for 1 hour if possible.
  5. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 5mm (¼in). Cut out rounds with a 6cm (2½in) cutter. You should get around 36 rounds.
  6. Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat and lightly butter it. Cook the Welsh cakes in batches for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Roll them in caster sugar while warm. You will need 16–18 cakes for the tiramisu.

Make The Tiramisu:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and mascarpone until pale yellow and smooth.
  2. In separate bowls, whisk the egg whites and cream until they form soft peaks. Gently fold both into the mascarpone mixture along with the vanilla extract (if using). The mixture should be smooth and airy.
  3. Mix the marsala, whisky, and coffee in a shallow bowl. Dip half of the Welsh cakes in the liquid until saturated. Arrange them in the base of a large trifle bowl, breaking some to fill gaps. Dust with cocoa powder.
  4. Top with half of the mascarpone mixture.
  5. Dip the remaining Welsh cakes and arrange them over the mascarpone. Top with the remaining mascarpone mixture and dust with cocoa powder.
  6. Cover and chill for several hours, preferably overnight. Serve well chilled.

Recipe Tips

  • Soak Raisins Well: Let the raisins sit in whiskey for an hour. This makes the Welsh cakes taste better.
  • Chill Dough: Put the dough in the fridge for an hour before rolling it out. This helps with the texture.
  • Cook Welsh Cakes on Medium Heat: Use medium heat to cook the Welsh cakes so they don’t burn. They should be golden brown and firm.
  • Whisk to Soft Peaks: Whisk the egg whites and cream until they are soft and fluffy. This makes the mascarpone mix light and airy.
  • Double Dip Cakes: Dip the Welsh cakes twice in the coffee mix. This makes sure they are very moist and tasty.

How To Store This Tasty Tiramisu

  • Refrigerate: Cover the tiramisu tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Serve it chilled.
  • Freeze: Freezing is not recommended as it can change the texture of the tiramisu.
