TRADITIONAL ITALIAN TIRAMISU

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl combine the mascarpone cheese, Frangelico liquor and sugar.
• In a separate bowl whip the whipping cream till soft peaks form.
• Gently fold mascarpone mixture into the whip cream.
• In an 8x8-inch glass serving dish layer 1/2 the ladyfingers tightly on the bottom.
• Drizzle 1/2 the espresso over the ladyfingers, trying to saturate them evenly.
• Spread 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture on top of the ladyfingers.
• Sprinkle 1/2 of the shaved chocolate over the top.
• Layer remaining ladyfingers on top of the shaved chocolate. Again, you are looking to get a nice tight layer.
• Drizzle the remaining espresso over the ladyfingers.
• Spread the rest of the mascarpone mixture on top of the ladyfingers. You can either spread it nice and smooth with a spatula OR spread the mixture and create soft peaks for texture and appearance.
• Sprinkle the remaining shaved chocolate on top.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight for best results (at least 8 hours).
• Enjoy!

TIRAMISU

Steps:

• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Add mascarpone cheese and beat until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of espresso and mix until thoroughly combined.
• In a small shallow dish, add remaining espresso and rum. Dip each ladyfinger into espresso for only 5 seconds. Letting the ladyfingers soak too long will cause them to fall apart. Place the soaked ladyfinger on the bottom of a 13 by 9 inch baking dish, breaking them in half if necessary in order to fit the bottom.
• Spread evenly 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Arrange another layer of soaked ladyfingers and top with remaining mascarpone mixture.
• Cover tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 8 hours.
• Before serving, sprinkle with chocolate shavings.

• Make the Italian espresso coffee (better if you can use a classic Moka machine) and put in a bowl.
• Add to the coffee bowl, two tablespoon of sugar and two tablespoon of Marsala.
• Cool the coffee to tepid temperature.
• Pour the first layer of Mascarpone cream in a glass baking dish of medium size.

• Repeat the last two steps for a second layer.
• After adding the Mascarpone chees above the last Savoiardi layer, cover with the cocoa powder.
• Cover the glass baking dish (usually I use aluminium foil) and put in the refrigerator at least for 12 hours.

SUISSE MOCHA TIRAMISU (LOW CALORIE)

Steps:

• Dissolve 1 tablespoons of the Suisse Mocha instant coffee in hot water in small bowl; sprinkle over ladyfingers. Line bottom and side of shallow 1-1/2 quart serving bowl with ladyfingers.
• Place 1/2 cup of the milk, cream cheese, and remaining undissolved flavored instant coffee in blender container; cover. Blend on medium speed until smooth. Add dry pudding mixes and remaining 2 1/2 cups milk; cover. Blend on medium speed until well blended. Carefully pour into lined bowl; top with whipped topping.
• Refrigerate at least 3 hours or until set.
• Note 1: I sometimes sprinkle some more Suisse Mocha instant coffee powder or chocolate shavings over the top for garnish.
• Note 2: I have had a hard time finding ladyfingers at my supermarket. I have used Nilla Wafers to line the bowl in place of ladyfingers and had an acceptable result.
