Melbourne Laneway Gin Tiramisu

A Melbourne take on the classic Italian tiramisu. Made with our Melbourne Laneway Gin, which pairs beautifully with fluffy mascarpone and smooth espresso. Serve with Coffee Negronis, Espresso martinis and a bowl of cherries to cut through the richness.

- 75g caster sugar
- 43 egg yolks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200 ml strong espresso, cooled
- 200g Savoiardi sponge biscuits

Tips
- Buy good quality mascarpone; it will help the tiramisu set better.
- A good Dutch cocoa will provide a smoother, richer taste.
For the best depth of flavour, use Melbourne Laneway Gin and allow the tiramisu to set overnight before serving.
