Tiramisù ai frutti di bosco
Wild berries tiramisù

This recipe is also known as children-tiramisù, because it replaces coffee and alcohol with berries.

Be careful: for this recipe around 12 hours planning ahead are needed.
Ingredients for 6 hungry people  

• 200g savoiardi cookies
• 250g mascarpone cheese
• 350g wild berries
• 5 fresh eggs
• 125g sugar
• 20g cocoa
• 20ml liquor like maraschino or rum (optional)
• mixer

Procedure

1. Prepare the cream and stack the biscuits like in the tiramisù recipe (see );
2. Smash the wild berries in a coarse way, i.e. without blending them, and optionally add the liquor;
3. Pour the fruits on the biscuits and in case they are too dry add a little bit of water (see tip below);
4. Add the cocoa on top of the berries with a small sieve.
5. Pour the mixture on top of the cookies and let it rest overnight in the fridge;
6. Before serving let it rest at room temperature for an hour.

Tip: The right wetness of Savoiardi is difficult to find. They should not be soaked, but have still a bit of a dry core. Given a biscuits of section 1 2 cm there should be a core of diameter 0.5 cm still dry, that will soak overnight. A measurement of this can be made with a fork, by trying to break a one: the fork should not easily go through, but the biscuit should break without effort.
