Yummy Tiramisu

So this Christmas Eve I am in charge of the Dessert.  I made Tiramisu the other night when Eddie and Jessica came to dinner and it was AWESOME!!  So that is what I will be making again!

Here is the Recipe I used……

Ingredients

• 6 egg yolks
• 1 1/4 cups white sugar
• 1 1/4 cups mascarpone cheese
• 1 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream
• 2 (12 ounce) packages ladyfingers
• 1/3 cup coffee flavored liqueur
• 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
• 1 (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate

Directions

1. Combine egg yolks and sugar in the top of a double boiler, over boiling water. Reduce heat to low, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and whip yolks until thick and lemon colored.
2. Add mascarpone to whipped yolks. Beat until combined. In a separate bowl, whip cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold into yolk mixture and set aside.
3. Split the lady fingers in half, and line the bottom and sides of a large glass bowl. Brush with coffee liqueur. Spoon half of the cream filling over the lady fingers. Repeat ladyfingers, coffee liqueur and filling layers. Garnish with cocoa and chocolate curls. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
4. To make the chocolate curls, use a vegetable peeler and run it down the edge of the chocolate bar.

*TIPS:  I don’t have a double broiler and honestly did not know what one was.  I looked online and found an article on how to make a double broiler at home.  Boil water in a large pot (Like a pot you would cook pasta in.  Then use a metal bowl that is a little bigger than the top of the pot.  Put your egg mixture in the metal bowl and stir CONSTANTLY!!!!!  while the water in the pan under is boiling

Tip #2:  The 1st time I made a recipe with Whipping Cream I put my mixer on whip.  DO NOT DO THIS.  It will turn it to a think butter like mix.  Put your hand mixer on the lowest setting.  It takes some time but the whipping cream will urn out PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!
