Heavenly Tiramisu



Tiramisu

There is nothing I love more than Tiramisu. One of my favorite Italian desserts. I tried from different super markets and different places but I never felt like its the real one. They were all lacking something. Finally on one Mother's day my Italian neighbor made this Tiramisu. I should say I have the Best neighbors & the Best Tiramisu :).
Thank You Giovanna. Can't wait to try this!

Try out this simple Tiramisu recipe 

Ingredients
1/2 cup of brewed espresso
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
3 large egg yolks
1/4 cup granulated sugar
8 ounces of mascarpone cheese (1 1/4 cups)
3/4 cup of heavy cream
18 to 20 ladyfinger cookies
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate or cocoa powder



Directions
Combine coffee and vanilla extract and a table spoon of sugar in a wide small bowl
 Filling
Beat egg yolks, 3 table spoons of sugar in a bowel for 10 mins in medium speed.
Add mascarpone cheese until just combined
Whip cream in a bowl until it holds stiff peaks.  Then gently mix the yolk mascarpone mixture.

Assemble Tiramisu
Dip half of the ladyfingers very quickly into the coffee and line the botton of a 9 inch square dish.
Spoon half of the mascarpone filling over the ladyfingers. 
Add another layer of coffee dipped ladyfingers on top and finish off the top with the remainder of the mascarpone filling. 
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 6 hours

When ready to serve dust grated chocolate or cocoa powder over it.    Enjoy it...
