Ingredients

2 eggs*
2 egg yolks*
12 tablespoons sugar
500 grams mascarpone (1 large tub)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Pinch of salt
10 tablespoons Marsala
2 cups espresso, plus more if needed
1 large package Lady Fingers (4 sleeves of 12 biscuits)
1 whole cup chopped semisweet chocolate

Directions

Place the 2 eggs and 2 whole egg yolks in an electric mixer bowl and add approximately 8 tablespoons of sugar. With whisk attachment beat until the mixture forms a good ribbon (should nearly have soft peaks). Once the correct consistency is achieved, whisk in the Mascarpone cheese. In a separate bowl, whip the cream along with 2 tablespoons sugar and a pinch of salt.

Once hard peaks form, add the whipped cream to the egg/Mascarpone mixture and beat until smooth, adding approximately 2 tablespoons Marsala.

In a separate bowl, pour the hot espresso and add 2 tablespoons sugar and 8 tablespoons Marsala.

Assembly: One at a time, quickly dip each biscuit in the espresso mixture and then place on the bottom of a 9 by 13 glass baking pan. Continue until you have an entire layer of biscuits on the bottom of the pan. (Note of Caution: Dip quickly or biscuits will become soggy.)

Using a spatula spread half of the mascarpone cream over the biscuits. Repeat the process above to make a second layer. This should fill the pan.

Finish: Refrigerate 8 to 10 hours or overnight. Grate the chocolate over the top. Enjoy!

Perfect!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is my fiance's favorite and he was coming home on leave for his birthday (he is a marine) so I made it for him and it... turned out PERFECT! I am not that experience in the kitchen, but I need practice since I will be getting married next year, and this recipe was not too hard for me. I used Kahlua instead of marsala and it is SO GOOD. 1 and a half tablespoons in the whipped mixture and 4 tablespoons in the espresso. btw, for anyone using raw eggs, there's a brand called Davidson's that makes pastuerized shell eggs that are safe to eat raw. They have a website! Read more

Great for Company!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

First time try at Tiramisu- I will make it again no doubt! It is my fiance's favorite dessert! Thought I would try it to go... with my Italian theme dinner- turned out great! Used half of the marsala is called for and the other half I used brandy and used strong coffee instead of espresso. I let it set up overnight- served well but a little runny- will put in freezer for about 20-30 min before serving next time. Also found marscapone on sale- only spent about $6 on this dessert. Fantastic- everyone asked me for the recipe!Read more
