Authentic Tiramisu
* 30 Italian ladyfingers, divided
* 2 1/2 C. strong warm espresso
* 2 ounces chopped chocolate, divided
* Unsweetened cocoa, for dusting
* 6 egg yolks
* 3/4 C. sugar
* 1 1/4 lb.. mascarpone cheese
* 2 C. heavy cream
* 1/3 C. sugar
* 1 1/2 T. dark rum
1) Dip the first 18 ladyfingers in the espresso, and line the bottom of the 12 x 9 pan with them. Sprinkle half of the chopped chocolate, and add a generous dusting of the cocoa to the ladyfingers; set aside.
2) Combine the yolks and 3/4 cup of sugar and mix on high with a mixer about 10 minutes. By hand, mix in the mascarpone until incorporated and relatively lump-free; set aside.
3) With a mixer or by hand, whip the cream, 1/3 cup sugar and rum until stiff peaks are formed. Add the mascarpone mixture and whip again until homogeneous.
4) Spread half of the egg/cheese filling on the ladyfingers in the pan. Soak the remaining ladyfingers in espresso and make a second layer (with spaces in between the ladyfingers). Sprinkle with remaining filling evenly over the ladyfingers, and lightly sprinkle with more cocoa.
5) Wrap, refrigerate and chill 4 to 6 hours. Before serving, sprinkle again with a light dusting of cocoa.
Slice and serve with a spoon or spatula.

If I'm going through all that trouble , I sure as Hell ain't lettin' them have any of it!
Let 'em eat stale leftover Twinkies!
As if fresh or stale makes a difference with twinkies....
A great recipe :)
AND a GREAT post!! EVERYONE who wants to "protest vote" needs to think long and hard about "Speaker of The House, Nancy Pelosi"....
This is no time to have a childish tantrum.
You said it, Carlo! ALL "Rs"!
Thanks for the ping.
Thanks for the ping.
oooh, dahling, mascarpone cheese, rum......yum, yum.....
Great post, carlo3b. The Dems Halloween mask is scare all the Republicans into staying home this election. The real fright is Pelosi and her chums in power. Let's turn out in droves and show them we support our President. And may I remind all you Conservatives who showed your moral indignation and stayed home, that you gave us Jimmy Carter--who gave us the Ayatollah--and Bill Clinton, whose corrupt gifts keep on giving.
This truly is a fight between good and evil!
And I agree with you, carlo3b, as far as always getting what we want. I don't even agree with my husband all the time, and he's really a nice guy! :)
Broken glass, you don't need to bribe me with Tiramisu.
I'd graciously accept a piece though.
Yum. Tiramisu. Always wondered what was in it.
Thanks.
Tiramisu, best dessert ever.
