Tiramisu Recipe

Tiramisu

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 2 egg yolks
• 12 Tblsp sugar
• 500 g mascarpone cheese
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate
• a pinch of salt
• 10 Tblsp marsala wine
• 2 cups prepared espresso
• 48 lady fingers - make sure you get the hard ones, not the soft, bread-like kind

Directions:

Place 2 eggs and 2 egg yolks in a mixer bowl. Add 8 Tblsp sugar and whisk until ribbons form. Whisk in mascarpone.

In a separate bowl whip the cream with 2 Tblsp sugar and a pinch of salt until hard peaks form.

Add whipped cream to cheese mixture and beat until smooth, adding 2 Tblsp marsala.

Pour the espresso into a shallow dish and add 2 Tblsp sugar and 8 Tblsp marsala. Dip each lady finger QUICKLY into the espresso and line them on the bottom of a 9 x 13 dish. Top with half of the cream mixture, another layer of dipped lady fingers and the remaining cream mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 to 10 hours. Cover with grated chocolate just before serving.

When I first started making this I used to have to go to a specialty Italian market to find some of the ingredients. Now I can find them all in my local grocery store. I hope you will try this recipe!
