  3. The batter should be light and easy to spread. If it seems too thick and gloppy add a Tablespn extra of milk.
  4. Line a flat baking tray with paper and spread the mixture just over 1 cm or 1/2 inch thick. If the tray is small you may need two trays. Bake at 170 C / 325 F for approx 8 minutes, then check by touching lightly with your fingers and if cooked it should spring back. to check if it is cooked. A couple more minutes may be needed. Take out of the oven and cool. Meanwhile
Coffee Syrup

  2. Empty this into another bowl and clean the whisk and bowl very carefully. Beat the egg white until light and frothy. Then slowly add the extra sugar and beat till soft peaks form ( double volume ). Fold 1/2 the whites into the marscapone mixture and then add the rest folding very gently.
Put the tiramisu together
  1. Cut the cake into 12 circles with a cutter that fits the size of your mould. (Put a paper collar around the inside of each mould in your tray if you dont have removable bottomed tins like mine ) Brush each piece of cake with the reserved syrup, generously then place into the mould. Continue with all six then divide the mascarpone between the moulds. Sprinkle each with a generous amount of grated chocolate. Paint the tops with syrup and put onto the top pressing down gently. Refrigerate for several hours or preferably overnight.
  2. To serve. Unmould by running a knife around the outside of the mould, or removing the paper,and cover the tops with chocolate and a sprinkling of cocoa then place an Easter egg onto each one
