Right...
Go down the shop and get:
- mascarpone cheese
- 6 eggs
- coffee (preferably LAVAZZA or ILLY...you will also need the
italian coffee maker, called 'la moca')
- cream
- sugar
- pavesini biscuits or savoiardi (lady fingers will do as well)
- cocoa powder

Now, break all the eggs and put the whites in one conteiner
and the yolks in another..
Leave the one with the whites in the fridge and add sugar to the one with the yolks, mix thoroughly before adding mascarpone and some whipped cream, then mix again thoroughly.
Now put aside this mixture and get the conteiner with the whites....beat the eggs whites until stiff peaks form...
Now mix together what's in the 2 conteiners...
Meantime make some espresso coffee and pour it in a bowl....
Get a baking dish and pour some of the cream mixture on the bottom...now start dipping the biscuits in the coffee and place them on the baking dish in such a way to cover the whole bottom...then add another layer of the cream mixture...
Continue in this manner until you have 4 layers...then dust the
final layer with some cocoa powder...
Put in the fridge and let it set for 3 hours
E BUON APPETITO!!!

2 cups strong plunger espresso coffee, cooled to room temp 3 tablespoons Tia Maria (or another liqueur, but the coffee flavour is really enhanced) 2 eggs, separated 1/4 cup caster sugar 250 g mascarpone cheese 1 cup cream 250 g ladyfingers (savoiardi) cocoa powder, for dusting 1. Put the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl. 2. Beat with electric mixers until the mixture goes pale and thick. 3. Add marscapone and beat until combined. 4. It does not matter if it is marbled slightly. 5. Whip the cream until stiff peaks hold, and fold gently into the egg mixture. 6. I use a spatula, but you could use a metal spoon. 7. Do not beat! 8. Beat the egg whites to soft peaks in a perfectly clean metal bowl. 9. If there is any grease, they won't whip properly. 10. Make sure you rinse and dry your beaters well. 11. Fold the whites into the cream. 12. It is very important to retain as much air as possible. 13. For serving you can use a big dish or individual glasses. 14. If using a big dish: Put the coffee and liquer in a bowl. 15. Dip biscuits in coffee one at a time. 16. Drain well. 17. Layer in your dish, covering the whole bottom. 18. Place half of the marscapone mix on top and spread out. 19. Repeat with remaining biscuits and marscapone, finishing with a creamy layer. 20. Smooth surface. 21. Dust with cocoa. 22. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but it works quite well if you leave for up to 24 hours. 23. If using glasses: Break the biscuits up into pieces that will fit your glasses and do the same soaking and layering as before.

Recipe name: Tiramisu

Note: The recipe is meant to be made in the style of the the picture above from La Trattoria in Key West, FL
This creation that had many an Italian crying for more. The cream cheese although not in Italian recipes, adds body. The egg yolks are cooked by the hot sugar so you don't have to worry about raw eggs. Don't pour the sugar in too fast or eggs will curdle! Don't skimp on the quality of the chocolate and cocoa---use the best you can afford, the same applies to the Marsala wine. Also use a good quality dark rum! Fresh brewed espresso is a must, you can even use decaffeinated!

Tiramisu Layer Cake by Bettina Bryant

INGREDIENTS
CAKE:
1 (18.25 ounce) package moist white cake mix
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
1/4 cup coffee
1 tablespoon coffee flavored liqueur

FILLING:
1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur

FROSTING:
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur
GARNISH:
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 3 (9 inch) pans.
2. Prepare the cake mix according to package directions. Divide two thirds of batter between 2 pans. Stir instant coffee into remaining batter; pour into remaining pan.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
4. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. In a measuring cup, combine brewed coffee and 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur; set aside.
5. To make the filling: In a small bowl, using an electric mixer set on low speed, combine mascarpone, 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur; beat just until smooth.
6. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
7. To make the frosting: In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium-high speed, beat the cream, 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur until stiff.
8. Fold 1/2 cup of cream mixture into filling mixture.
9. To assemble the cake: Place one plain cake layer on a serving plate. Using a thin skewer, poke holes in cake, about 1 inch apart. Pour one third of reserved coffee mixture over cake, then spread with half of the filling mixture. Top with coffee-flavored cake layer; poke holes in cake. Pour another third of the coffee mixture over the second layer and spread with the remaining filling. Top with remaining cake layer; poke holes in cake. Pour remaining coffee mixture on top. Spread sides and top of cake with frosting. Place cocoa in a sieve and lightly dust top of cake. Garnish with chocolate curls. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.
