Equipment

  • electric mixer hand-held

Ingredients
  

  • 17 oz Mascarpone cream cheese
  • 2/3 cup sugar white
  • 6 eggs separated
  • 1 - 2 cups coffee brewed
  • 20 - 24 Ladyfinger biscuits
  • cocoa for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Brew coffee and set aside.
  • In one bowl place the egg white, and beat with an electric hand mixer until perfectly whipped solid. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl place the sugar and egg yolk. Beat together with a hand held mixer.
  • Add the Mascarpone cheese to the egg yolk bowl, and beat together with a hand-held mixer.
  • Then, add in the egg white bowl to the egg yolk mixture bowl. Mix it together by hand from the bottom of the bowl to the top, until it's fully combined.
  • Build your tiramisu in a glass dish by spreading a thin layer of the Tiramisu cream on the bottom, then dunking the Ladyfingers in the coffee mixture that you previously set aside, fully cover the Ladyfingers with cream mixture, add a second layer of the Ladyfingers soaked in coffee, and add a final layer of cream.
  • Once built, cover, and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
  • When you're ready to serve sprinkle the top layer liberally with cocoa (or cacao powder), and serve.

Notes

The egg whites part is, by far, the trickiest. If you don't get it right and it doesn't fluff (aka form stiff peaks) perfectly the way Ceci got it to fluff, your Tiramisu will be runny and flop. My solution? I actually **skipped** the egg whites, and the Tiramisu still worked (and tasted) perfect!
