Tiramisu Recipe

Ingredients

6 eggs, separated

6 tablespoons sugar

16 ounces mascarpone cheese

4 cups espresso coffee

Optional: ¼ cup Marsala wine (rum or amaretto can be substituted)

¼ cup cocoa powder

½ pint heavy cream, whipped

1 package Savoiardi (sugar coated Italian “lady fingers”)

Instructions

Separate egg yolks and whites.  Beat egg whites to a cloud, making a light meringue.  Add sugar to yolks and beat about 3 min to make a zambaglione (light yellow).  Add mascarpone to zambaglione and beat.  Fold in egg whites into mixture.  Fold whipped cream into mixture. Wet lady fingers in coffee, but be careful not to soak.  Layer biscuits to cover bottom of pan, spread cream over biscuits, sprinkle a layer of cocoa powder over the cream.  Repeat to make 2 layers.  Refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 12 for maximum freshness.
