Ingredients
- 5 fresh eggs, separated
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 17 1/2 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 30 ladyfingers
- 2 cups espresso coffee
- 2 tablespoons coffee powder
Directions
Whip the egg whites until they form hard peaks, set aside. Whip the egg yolks with the sugar until you reach a pale yellow color. Whip in the mascarpone cheese for 5 minutes.
Fold in the egg whites to the mascarpone cream and mix. Pour a layer of mascarpone cream into a large glass bowl or small individual bowls top with a layer of ladyfingers soaked in the espresso coffee. Repeat this operation 2 more times.
Finish with a mascarpone cream layer and sprinkle with the coffee powder.
* Raw Egg Warning
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.

Based on the good reviews (7:1, I decided to make the cake for the first time. I followed the instruction step by step, the result turn out to be horrible. I couldn't believe it at first. When I cut the cake, the texure was not good. The ladyfinger was like soaking in the cream. After chilling the cake, the thick cream became very liquid. I wouldn't recommend this recipe to anyone.
Don't waste your money on this one... very dissappointed :(

Based on all the fabulous reviews, we decided to try making this tiramisu for the first time. We followed the directions EXACTLY and were quite hopeful for good results. Unfortunately... the results were unappetizing to the eye and the palate. The "custard" was eggy. Not good. This would be embarrassing had we made it for guests. Good thing we were making it for ourselves. I love you Rachael, but this one sucked. You owe us $30 for the ingredients. :
