Festive Tiramisu by Jamie Oliver

At this time of the year, there are many community gatherings to celebrate the New Year, and in these gatherings sweet dishes have an important place on the table, and some women who are skilled in making sweets prefer to make them at home, put them in packages, decorate them with New Year’s decorations, and take them as gifts to the family. Here is Jamie Oliver’s method. For a delicious Tiramisu dish

Ingredients

200 ml double cream

100 g quality dark chocolate (70%) , plus extra to serve

100 g sponge fingers

150 ml good hot strong sweetened coffee

50 ml Vin Santo , or sweet sherry

500 g ricotta cheese

250 g mascarpone cheese

1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

3 tablespoons runny honey

1 orange , or clementine

Method

- To make a ganache, pour the cream into a pan and gently bring to a simmer over a medium heat.

- Add a pinch of sea salt, snap in the chocolate and stir until melted, thickened and smooth, then remove from the heat and leave to one side.

- Line a dish (20cm x 30cm) with the sponge fingers (or Genoese sponge, if you’ve made it), carefully pour over the hot sweetened coffee and drizzle over the Vin Santo or sweet sherry.

Spread the chocolate ganache over the top in an even layer.

- In a food processor, blitz the ricotta, mascarpone, vanilla bean paste and honey until super-smooth. Spoon this creamy mixture evenly on top of your chocolate layer.

- Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours, to set. Serve with a good grating or shaving of chocolate and a fine grating of orange or clementine zest. Happy new year
