Lemon & hazelnut tiramisu.

From the recently discovered foodnetwork.uk. Not that I actually followed the recipe, that called for Frangelico, for instance. I didn’t have any and didn’t fancy spending 18 quid for a bottle, but I had some excellent Polish Soplica Orzechowa vodka,excellent for cocktails, , which I mixed with espresso( tiramisu without coffee is not a tiramisu, so I used some). Also, the biscuits were slightly different, it made the dessert look like a cake rather than a layered dessert, but I’m pleased with the result.

The cream, dietetic, as I do nearly always, prawda, whipped cream with sugar and cinnamon; mascarpone, just slightly beaten into submission and then mixed into the cream. Bottom layer- biscuits saked in coffee and hazelnut vodka, the cream, scattered with chopped hazelnuts. Second layer was soaked in a lemon syrup, just juice of half a lemon, some water and sugar boiled for about 2 minutes and cooled. Then the cream again, hazelnuts and cocoa. Chilled in the fridge for the afternoon, 4-5 hours. Pleasant.
