Tiramisu with Triple Sec liqueur. Not for children or feint of heart! A real Christmas delight. I make these and give them for gifts, and everyone says it's the best they've ever had! Give it a try! Ingredients:
3 separated eggs |
7 tablespoons sugar |
8 ounces mascarpone cheese |
2 (36 count) packages ladyfingers, from italian market (about 36 to a pkg) |
3/4 cup orange liqueur (triple sec is best) |
3/4 cup espresso coffee |
3 -4 ounces grated semisweet chocolate |
Directions:
1. Combine egg yolks and sugar in medium-sized bowl and beat well.
2. In 2nd bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
3. In a 3rd, large bowl, combine egg yolk mixture and the marscapone cheese. Then fold in egg whites until blended. (Don't overmix!).
4. Arrange ladyfingers tightly around bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan.
5. Using a spoon, dribble less than half of the Triple Sec and less than half the coffee on the exposed surface of the ladyfingers.
6. Cover the ladyfingers with the marscapone/egg mixture. Now cover that with another layer of ladyfingers.
7. Cover the second layer of ladyfingers with the remaining coffee & Triple Sec. Sprinkle grated chocolate over the top layer of ladyfingers.
8. NOW THE HARD PART! Place in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours. (I put a dish under springform pan to catch any liquids that may leak).
9. (Tiramisu can be made 24 hours in advance).
