Tiramisu


Serves 8-

You can also layer the tiramisu in a rectangular serving dish, starting with a layer of ladyfingers, then mascarpone, then cocoa. Finish with cocoa sprinkled on top.


6 eggs, separated

7 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar

1 1/2 lbs mascarpone cheese

1/4 cup grappa, brandy, or vin santo

1 1/2 lbs ladyfingers

3/4 cup cold espresso

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, or 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, grated


In one bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar, then fold in the mascarpone and the liqueur.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until they are stiff and form peaks. Fold the whites into the mascarpone mixture.

Dip the ladyfingers into the espresso and drop 2 into a wine glass. Spoon the mascarpone over the cookies and sprinkle cocoa powder or grated chocolate on top. Chill several hours before serving.
