Tiramisu

 
 
The Italian that came up with this combination of Marscapone cheese and coffee was a genius. Tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts, not just to eat but it's also perfect to make a family style bowl that's perfect for a large gathering but is still elegant. This is my version of Tiramisu and I love to lighten it up with the addition of whipped cream.

Ingredients
6 egg yolks
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup Marscapone cheese
1 cup whipping cream
Savoiardi Lady fingers – 2 – 3 packages
1 cup expresso- add sugar
Coffee liquer(optional)
1/2 cup shaved dark chocolate

Process
 
Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together

Place them over a double boiler till the sugar melts whisking aggressively so the eggs do not cook

Remove and set aside

Whisk the cream till stiff and set aside

Add the Marscapone to the mixing bowl and whip till smooth

Add the egg and sugar mixture

Fold in 3/4 of the whipping cream

Dip the cookies in the coffee and stack in a serving bowl

Alternate the dipped cookies and the cheese mixture

Finish with whipping cream and sprinkle generously with shaved chocolate
