    This recipe is always a hit and it's easy to make...dont' get discouraged by the directions.

    Tiramisu

    Yields 10 servings



    Tiramisu can be made a day ahead of time and topped with its spiked whipped cream the day it is to be served.Ingredients:
    Topping


    • 1 cup whipping cream
    • 2 tsp sugar
    • 2 tbsp coffee liqueur
    • chocolate shavings and cocoa powder, for garnish


    Cream Filling


    • 1 cup whipping cream
    • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
    • 5 egg yolk
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 1/3 cup Marsala wine
    • 2 cups mascarpone cheese


    Ladyfinger Base


    • 1 1/2 cups coffee
    • 1/4 cup rum
    • 5 tbsp sugar
    • 2 pkgs Italian ladyfinger biscuits
    • 1/2 cup grated chocolate


    Directions:
    Topping


    1. Whip cream to soft peaks and stir in sugar and coffee liqueur. Chill until ready to assemble.


    Cream Filling


    1. Whip cream to soft peaks and stir in vanilla extract. Chill.
    2. Place a pot with 2 inches of water on medium heat and bring to a simmer. In a metal or glass bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar and Marsala wine. Place over the pot of simmering water and whisking constantly until mixture has doubled and holds a ribbon design on itself when you lift the whisk. Remove from heat.
    3. Whisk in mascarpone cheese and if still warm, chill until at least room temperature. Fold in vanilla whipped cream. Set aside until ready to assemble.


    Ladyfinger Base


    1. Mix coffee, rum and sugar until sugar has dissolved.


    To Assemble


    1. Dip ladyfingers in the coffee soaking liquid, just for a moment, to let it soak up the coffee (but not get soggy). Line the bottom of a trifle bowl, or decorative casserole dish completely with the soaked ladyfingers.
    2. Spread a half of the Cream Filling over the ladyfingers and sprinkle with grated chocolate.
    3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2. (If your trifle dish is quite tall, repeat Steps 1 & 2 again, using a third of the cream filling each time).
    4. Spread whipped cream topping over Tiramisu, dust with cocoa powder and sprinkle with grated chocolate.

    It usually comes in a container like cottage cheese or sour cream in the dairy section. If you have a Kroger or a Publix they probably will have some. Maybe even Wally World has it.

    It is usually where the ricotta is, not necessarily where cottage cheese is though... often with other italian cheese like parmiggiano and reggiano.

    True P....depends on the store. For those looking ot mascarpone cheese, check in both places. It's great for all kinds of desserts. Warning though, it's on the pricey side, but then all good cheese is.
