Ingredients
-
3 separated eggs
7 tablespoons sugar
8 ounces mascarpone cheese
2 (36 count) packages ladyfingers, from italian market (About 36 to a pkg)
3/4 cup orange liqueur (Triple Sec is best)
3/4 cup espresso coffee
3 -4 ounces grated semisweet chocolate
Preparation
-
Combine egg yolks and sugar in medium-sized bowl and beat well.
In 2nd bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
In a 3rd, large bowl, combine egg yolk mixture and the marscapone cheese. Then fold in egg whites until blended. (Don't overmix!).
Arrange ladyfingers tightly around bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan.
Using a spoon, dribble less than half of the Triple Sec and less than half the coffee on the exposed surface of the ladyfingers.
Cover the ladyfingers with the marscapone/egg mixture. Now cover that with another layer of ladyfingers.
Cover the second layer of ladyfingers with the remaining coffee & Triple Sec. Sprinkle grated chocolate over the top layer of ladyfingers.
NOW THE HARD PART! Place in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours. (I put a dish under springform pan to catch any liquids that may leak).
(Tiramisu can be made 24 hours in advance).
