If you want a dessert that speaks to you & whispers in your ear ‘Come to me’ then this is the dessert you want to make.
Ingredients
3 large eggs separated
¾ cup of sugar
1 (8-ounce) container mascarpone cheese
½ cup very cold heavy cream
2 cups brewed espresso or very strong brewed coffee, cooled to room temperature
2 tbsp sweet Marsala wine or brandy
18 crisp Italian ladyfingers
¼ cup good bittersweet chocolate (pc has a great bar)
Prep & Directions
1. Beat together yolks and ½ cup of sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until thick and pale, about 2 minutes.
2. Beat in mascarpone until combined.
3. Beat cream in another bowl with cleaned beaters until it just holds soft peaks. Gently but thoroughly fold cream into mascarpone mixture.
4. Stir together espresso and Marsala in a shallow bowl. Dip 1 ladyfinger in espresso mixture, dipping it for a moment on each side, and transfer to an 8-inch square glass-baking dish (1-quart capacity). Repeat with 8 more ladyfingers, trimming them as needed to fit snugly in bottom of dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over ladyfingers. Make another layer in same manner with remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture. Refrigerate tiramisu, covered for at least 6 hours.
