Tiramisu~
Seriously. . . This light and fluffy Italian dessert can be simple. Especially if you use my friend Gail's recipe.
Gail's Great Tiramisu
5 eggs
1 cup sugar
16 oz Mascarpone Cheese
1 tsp vanilla (or Brandy)
2 boxes lady fingers
1 cup strong coffee
cocoa powder
Whip the eggs and the sugar for 6 minutes until fluffy. Fold in the Masarpone Cheese and blend until smooth. Add the Vanilla (or Brandy) this takes away the eggy taste.
To assemble . . . quickly dip the lady fingers in coffee.
QUICKLY
So it doesn't taste overwhelmingly coffee. Layer ladyfingers in a 8x12 baking dish (or souffle bowl).
Cover with a layer of fluffy mascarpone and repeat ending with fluff. Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Sprinkle with cocoa powder just before serving.
Yummy!
