IRISH CREAM TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Separate the egg whites and yolks into two large bowls. Whisk the whites until stiff. Add the sugar to the yolks and whisk again (no need to clean first) until thick and foamy - this will take about 5 mins. Whisk the mascarpone and cream liqueur into the egg yolks until you can't see any streaks of cheese. Carefully fold the whites into the mascarpone mixture with a large metal spoon to keep in as much air as possible.
• Get your serving dish ready (ours was 20 x 15 cm). Pour the coffee into a shallow dish and dip in a few sponge fingers at a time, turning them for a few seconds until they are nicely soaked, but not soggy. Layer these into the dish until you have used half the biscuits, then evenly spread over half of the creamy mixture. Using the coarse side of the grater, grate over most of the chocolate, then repeat the sponge and cream layers (you should use up all the coffee). If you want a pretty finish, you can pipe on the final cream layer.
• Cover and chill for a few hours or overnight. This can now be kept in the fridge for up to two days. To serve, dust with cocoa powder and grate over the remaining chocolate.

OLD-FASHIONED BANANA CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Have baked 9-inch pie shell ready.
• In a large saucepan, scald the milk.
• In another saucepan, combine the sugar, flour and salt; gradually stir in the scalded milk.
• Over medium heat, stirring constantly, cook until thickened.
• Cover and, stirring occasionally, cook for two minutes longer.
• In a small bowl, have the 3 egg yolks, slightly beaten, ready; stir a small amount of the hot mixture into beaten yolks; when thoroughly combined, stir yolks into hot mixture.
• Cook for one minute longer, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat and blend in the butter and vanilla.
• Let sit until lukewarm.
• When ready to pour, slice bananas and scatter in pie shell; pour warm mixture over bananas.
• If desired, make a meringue (you'll have 3 leftover egg whites) to top the pie, or just let the pie cool until serving.

CARAMEL BANANA TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Combine pudding mix and milk in a medium bowl and whisk to thicken. Add 1/3 cup caramel dip and sour cream and whisk to combine. Fold in whipped topping. Dip 15 ladyfingers in orange juice and arrange one layer of soaked fingers in a 9"x11" dish. Spread 1/2 cup caramel dip on top of ladyfingers. Spoon half of cream mixture over caramel and spread into an even layer, top with half of banana slices. Repeat process with remaining ingrediants. For topping, spread whipped topping over all, drizzle with caramel apple dip and sprinkle with cinnamon.
