Olive Garden's Recipe for Tiramisu
Ingredients
SPONGE CAKE, 10-12", 3" tall
STRONG BLACK COFFEE OR PREPARED INSTANT ESPRESSO, 3 ounces
BRANDY OR RUM, 3 ounces
MASCARPONE OR CREAM CHEESE, 1-1/2 pounds at room temperature
SUPERFINE OR POWDERED SUGAR, 1-1/2 cups
UNSWEETENED COCOA POWDER, enough to dust
Directions
Cut across the middle of the sponge cake to form two disks, about 1" to 1-1/2" thick.
Blend the coffee or espresso and liqueur together.
Sprinkle the bottom half of the cake with the coffee liqueur blend, enough to flavor it strongly, but don't saturate the cake so much it will collapse.
Mix the cream cheese or mascarpone with the sugar, and beat until the sugar is completely dissolved and the cheese is light and spreadable.
Spread the bottom half of the cake with half of the whipped cheese, in a fairly thick layer.
Set the second half of the cake on the bottom half, and repeat the process.
Sprinkle the coffee/liqueur blend and spread with the remaining whipped cheese mixture.
Put the cocoa powder into a wire strainer and coat the top layer of the cheese completely with cocoa.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving.

Here is a great Tiramisu recipe from Martha Stewart...I love it, it is a little different with the crunch of biscotti crumbs!
Serves 12
8 large eggs, separated
1 pound mascarpone
4 ounces small almond biscotti
3 cups brewed espresso, cooled
1/3 cup coffee liqueur, such as Kahlua
42 store-bought Ladyfinger biscuits
1 cup heavy cream
Best-quality milk chocolate, for garnish
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1. In a large bowl, whisk together yolks and mascarpone until smooth. Add 1 cup sugar; whisk until dissolved. Set aside.
2. Place biscotti in the bowl of a food processor; pulse for coarse crumbs. Fold biscotti into mascarpone mixture; set aside.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add egg whites; beat until soft peaks form. Fold egg whites into mascarpone mixture; set aside.
4. Combine espresso and liqueur in a medium bowl; pour half the mixture into a pie plate. Quickly dip half the Ladyfingers individually into the pie plate, and place in the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch glass baking dish; fit snugly to line. Evenly spread half the mascarpone mixture over Ladyfingers; repeat layers.
5. In a large bowl, whisk together heavy cream and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar until soft peaks form. Spread whipped cream evenly over tiramisu; garnish with grated chocolate. Chill at least 2 hours and preferably overnight before serving.
Note: Raw eggs should not be used in food prepared for pregnant women, young children, or anyone whose health is compromised.

Good luck!
