Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Egg yolks
1/4 c Sugar
1/2 c Marsala wine
1/2 lb Mascarpone cheese
1 c 35% Real Whipping Cream
1/2 c Extra strong coffee -- cold
2 tb Brandy
24 Dry Italian ladyfingers
6 oz Semisweet chocolate -- (1 cup) finely
chopped

Ingredient notes: Orange liqueur or extra strong coffee may be used in
place of Marsala wine. Cream cheese may be used in place of mascaroine
cheese. Orange liqueur or orange juice may be used in place of brandy.
Ladyfingers should be approx 4x1-inch size. Plain cookies or cake may be
used in place of ladyfingers. 1. Make the filling by beating egg yolks with
sugar until light. Beat in Marsala. Cook gently in a double boiler or in a
stainless steel or glass bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Cook
gently, stirring constantly, until thickened. Cool. 2. Beat mascarpone
cheese until smooth and then slowly beat in cooled custard. 3. Whip cream
until light. Gently fold into cheese mixture. Reserve. 4. Combine coffee
with brandy. Reserve. 5. Line an 8-inch baking dish or trifle bowl with
ladyfingers. (Do not worry if ladyfingers do not fit exactly, break up
extras and fit into spaces.) Drizzle with half of the coffee mixture.
Spread half the filling over. Sprinkle with half the chocolate. Repeat
layers starting with ladyfingers, drizzling with remaining coffee,
spreading remaining filling over ladyfingers and topping with chocolate. 6.
Refrigerate a few hours or overnight before serving. Tiramisu can be frozen
for up to one month.
