by Cynthia Loh

With this simple recipe kindly provided by jones the grocer, you can make a white chocolate & pistachio tiramisu like a pro!

You'll need:

100g of shelled pistachio nuts

250g of Amedei For You white chocolate buttons

500g of mascarpone cheese

150g of sugar

1 vanilla bean, split in half and scraped to remove seeds

5 egg yolks

3 egg whites

A pinch of salt

200g of sponge finger biscuits

100ml of dessert wine

To prepare:
Finely chop or grate the white chocolate buttons.
Blanch the pistachios in boiling water to remove the skins, then blend them to obtain a smooth, creamy paste.
Whisk the egg yolks with 130g of sugar and vanilla seeds until thick and creamy, then delicately fold the mascarpone cheese, chocolate and the pistachio paste.
Whip the egg whites until stiff with the remaining 20g of sugar and a pinch of salt, then gently fold into the cream mixture.
Spread 1/4 of the cream mixture into a mould or glass, add a layer of sponge finger biscuits and sprinkle with 1/2 the wine. Repeat these layers and finish with the remaining cream mixture.
Place in the fridge for at least three hours before cutting and serving.
