Yield
6 servings


Ingredients
2 egg yolks 2
1/4 cup sugar 50 mL
1/2 cup Marsala wine (or orange liqueur or extra strong coffee) 125 mL
1/2 lb mascarpone cheese (or cream cheese) 250 g
1 cup whipping cream 250 mL
1/2 cup extra strong coffee, cold 125 mL
2 Tbsp brandy (or orange liqueur or orange juice) 30 mL
24 dry Italian ladyfingers (approx 4" x 1" / 10 cm x 2.5 cm) 24
6 oz semisweet chocolate, finely chopped or grated 175 g


Directions
Beat egg yolks with sugar until blended. Beat in Marsala. Cook gently in a double boiler or in a stainless steel bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring constantly until thickened. Cool. Beat mascarpone cheese until smooth and then slowly beat into cooled egg mixture. Beat whipping cream until light. Gently fold into mixture. Set filling aside. Combine coffee with brandy. Set aside. Line an 8” baking dish or trifle bowl with half the ladyfingers. If ladyfingers do not fit exactly, break up extras and fit into spaces. Drizzle with half of the coffee mixture. Spread half the filling over ladyfingers. Sprinkle with half the chocolate. Repeat layers finishing with remaining coffee; spread remaining filling over ladyfingers and top with chocolate. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight before serving. Tiramisu can be frozen for up to one month.
