INGREDIENTS
DIRECTIONS
Arrange half the lady fingers in the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Mix hot water with coffee granules and 2 T. brandy. Pour ½ this mixture gently over lady fingers. Set aside. Make a zablione by beating the egg yolks and sugar in the top of a double boiler until ivory colored. Add ¼ cup brandy and whisk over simmering water until the mixture starts to thicken - 8-10 minutes. Let cool a little. Stir constantly while cooking. Carefully mix zabliogne with mascarpone cheese. It will appear to be quite liquid. Whip the egg whites until very stiff and fold into zabliogne/mascarpone mixture. Pour ½ zabliogne mixture over the lady fingers, which have been soaking up the coffee/brandy mixture. Top with ½ whipped cream. Sprinkle with ½ of cocoa powder and ½ of grated chocolate. Place balance of lady fingers on top of this to create a second layer. Pour remaining coffee mixture carefully over these lady fingers. Then repeat layers; zabliogne, whipped cream, cocoa powder and grated chocolate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate till set. It is best if left over-night. When ready serve, decorate with piped-on whipped cream around the edges and more chocolate and/or cocoa powder if desired.
Yield 10-12 servings, depending on the size you cut them. It is quite rich so you might consider smaller sized pieces. NOTE: You can substitute Marsala wine for the brandy if you prefer and like the taste of Marsala. >>> Continued to next message ++_ * SLMR 2.0 * ++- Maximus 2.01wb * Origin: The Keeping Room (1:261/1055) From: EARL SHELSBY Date: 11-20-94 Subject: Re: Tiramisu 2/ ====================================================================== ==== ==== >>> Continued from previous message MASCARPONE CHEESE SUBSTITUTE Mascarpone cheese is sold in Italian delis, cheese shops and speciality food markets.
