Ingredients




package of lady fingers (the soft kind)
cup a small  of strong coffee
2 containers of mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup of sugar
2 egg whites
cocoa powder

Preparation

1 In a bowl, add your two egg whites and your sugar. With a handheld mixer, whip until it forms stiff peaks. In a smaller bowl, loosen up your mascarpone cheese by mixing it by hand with a spoon. This is an important step because stiff mascarpone is going too tough to mix into the delicate egg whites. Fold the mascarpone cheese into the egg whites. Set aside. 2 In a small baking dish, add a layer of lady fingers. Spoon over some of the coffee onto the ladyfingers. 3 Add half off the mascarpone mixture over the lady fingers. Then create another layer of ladyfingers and soak them in coffee. 4 Carefully add the rest of the mascarpone mixture. Dust top with cocoa powder. Chill in the fridge for a few hours to let the tiramisu set. If you don't let it chill for a sufficient amount of time, it will be difficult to scoop out and eat. I tell you this out of personal experience. 5 This makes a 2-layered tiramisu. Depending on your baking dish you may only want to make 1 layer. If you want to use cups or glasses, you can make a multi-layered tiramisu parfait. Or quadruple the recipe and make a ginormous trifle! The sky is the limit.
