Ingredients
- 12 lady fingers
- Chocolate Cup Balloons
- 10 ounces coverture chocolate (minimum 54 percent cocoa)

Directions
Tempering chocolate: Chop the chocolate very fine. Melt 6 ounces of chocolate in a water bath, approximately 120 degrees F, and remove from heat. Add the rest of the chocolate, 4 ounces, and stir slowly until all the chocolate is melted (the approximate temperature should be 90 degrees F).
Blow up the balloons, tie them and then dip them in the chocolate half way up the sides. Set them on a sheet pan with parchment paper and put in the refrigerator. After 30 minutes, take them out of the refrigerator, pop and peel out the balloons.

- 3 1/2 ounces espresso coffee
- 1 ounce sugar
- 1 ounce Amaretto
Add sugar and Amaretto to freshly brewed espresso coffee.
Assembling Tiramisu Pipe a little of the Mascarpone Cream mixture into the balloon cups. Cut the lady fingers in half and dip them into the coffee syrup. Place two ladyfingers into a balloon cup. Finish piping the rest of the cream mixture into the cup. Garnish with cocoa powder dust.

P R O F E S S I O N A L ....
1. Anyone who has dined at top rated restaurants may have experience the chocolate "bowl" into which the ice cream, pudding, etc. was put with all other add-ons. The "bowl" has always been made by melting chocolate, blowing up small balloons and then dipping the balloon into chocolate. Multiple dips if needed for thicknness.
2. Tiramisu is traditionaly made by layering some type of biscuit/cake, etc, then the sweetened cheese/whip cream stuff, etc....then topped with sprinkled choclate and curved chocolate.
3. This recipe combines both the chocolate "bowl" and genuine tiramisu stuff
I encourage everyone who finds this recipe on the FoodTV site to keep it. Outstanding and Professional ... for us little guys!
