Default Classic Tiramisu

Classic Tiramisu

6 egg yolks1 1/4 cups white sugar1 1/4 cups mascarpone cheese1 3/4
cups heavy whipping
cream2 (12 ounce) packages
ladyfingers1/3 cup coffee flavored
liqueur 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa
powder, for dusting1 (1 ounce) square semisweet
chocolate

Combine
egg yolks and sugar in the top of a double boiler, over boiling water.
Reduce
heat to low, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from
heat and whip yolks until thick and lemon colored. Add mascarpone to
whipped
yolks. Beat until combined. In a separate bowl, whip cream to stiff
peaks.
Gently fold into yolk mixture and set aside. Split the lady fingers in
half,
and line the bottom and sides of a large glass bowl. Brush with coffee
liqueur.
Spoon half of the cream filling over the lady fingers. Repeat
ladyfingers,
coffee liqueur and filling layers. Garnish with cocoa and chocolate
curls.
Refrigerate several hours or overnight.

To
make the chocolate curls, use a vegetable peeler and run it down the
edge of
the chocolate bar.

This one looked interesting.
