Tiramisu
- 6 egg yolks
- 1 1/4 c. sugar
- 1 1/4 c. Mascarpone cheese
- 1 3/4 c. whipping cream
- 6 oz. Tiramisu liqueur, Marsala wine or rum
- 1 c. strong coffee
- 48 ladyfingers
- sugar
- cocoa
- In top of double boiler, beat together egg yolks and sugar until lemon yellow.
- Bring water to boil.
- Reduce heat to low and cook 10 minutes stirring constantly.
- Remove mixture from heat. Stir in Mascarpone, beating well.
- Let cool to room temperature. Beat whipping cream until soft peaks form.
- Fold into the egg and cheese mixture.
- Combine liqueur with coffee and use this mixture to brush ladyfingers until they are well saturated, but not falling apart.
- Line sides and bottom of a 3-quart souffle dish or any straight-sided dish with 36 of the ladyfingers.
- (I have used a flat baking dish with good results; just cut the ladyfingers in half lengthwise.)
- Pour in half the filling.
- Layer remaining ladyfingers on top.
- Cover with remaining filling. Smooth the top with spatula.
- Combine sugar and cocoa to taste and sprinkle on top.
- Cover and chill overnight.
