Tiramisu

Ingredients...

* 500g of Mascarpone Cheese
* 4 eggs (yolks & whites separated)
* 4 tablespoons of sugar
* 4 tablespoons of Rum/Cognac
* 4 tablespoons of milk
* 1 cup black coffee
* Cocoa powder (to sprinkle when finished)


How to...

Mix
milk, coffee, 2 tablespoons of sugar & 2 tablespoons of rum/cognac in a
large bowl

Soak
24 lady fingers or sponge cake in the above mixture

Layer
a rectangular glass/aluminum foil pan with 12 of the soaked lady fingers

Whip
egg yolks & 4 tablespoons of sugar. Add mascarpone cheese & 2 tablespoons
of rum/cognac. Mix together well.

Whip
egg whites until stiff peaks form, and then fold into the mascarpone cheese
mixture.

Spread
half the mixture on the soaked lady fingers. Layer the other 12 lady fingers
and cover with the remaining mascarpone cheese mixture. Be sure the mixture is
spread evenly in each layer.

Refrigerate
for at least 2 hours (But I recommend
chilling it overnight). Just before serving, sprinkle generously with cocoa
powder.
