Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 egg yolks from Large Grade eggs
¼ cup sugar
½ cup Marsala
1 cup whipping cream, chilled
4 Tbps. sugar
1 lb. Mascarpone Cheese (or 2- 8 oz. pkgs. cream cheese, ½ cup whipping cream & 5 Tbsp. Sour Cream)
2 cups (16oz.) freshly brewed espresso or other strong brew coffee
½ cup Brandy or Marsala
1 Tsp. vanilla
1-14oz. pkg Alessi Savoiardi Cookies
3 Tbsp. cocoa powder
chocolate curls or edible flowers for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • To make Tiramisu, begin by making zabaglione cream as with the first 3 ingredients and the following instructions: In the top part of a double boiler, beat eggs and sugar together until the mixture is pale yellow in color. In the bottom part of the double boiler, bring water to a boil then reduce heat to simmer. Place pan with egg yolk mixture over water and gradually add Marsala, beating continuously. Scrape bottom and sides of pan occasionally and cook 6-10 minutes or until soft mounds can be formed. Transfer to bowl cover and refrigerate 30 minutes. Next, with the remaining ingredients whip cream with 2 Tbsp. sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in Mascarpone and Zabaglione and mix till well blended. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour. In a separate bowl, mix espresso, 2 Tbsp. sugar, Brand and vanilla. Arrange 16 cookies on the bottom of a 9' by 13' pan. Carefully spoon about 1 Tbsp. of the coffee mixture over each cookie so they are well saturated but not falling apart. Spoon 1/3 cheese mixture over cookies and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. cocoa. Repeat two more times ending with cocoa. Cover and refrigerate at least 5 hours or overnight so that cookies can soften as they absorb moisture. Garnish and serve
