tiramisu`
I first had this Italian specialty on a "Valentine" gettaway with my husband to Toronto. We ate at the Spaghetti Factory and had this for dessert, it is the only part of the meal that I can remember from over 30 years ago. As I matured in my cooking I learned to make it myself and this is the recipe I have tweaked over the years.

How To Make tiramisu`
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 325-degrees.
-
Step 2Cut the ladyfingers in half and spread on a baking sheet. Brown in the oven for 5 minutes per side. Cool.
-
Step 3With an electric mixer, beat together egg yolks and sugar at high speed until thick. Add mascarpone cheese and Triple Sec and beat by hand until smooth.
-
Step 4Beat egg white until stiff and fold into mascarpone mixture.
-
Step 5Dip ladyfingers bottoms into the coffee, cut side down, so they soak up some of the liquid but not enough so that they become mushy. Do not soak too long.
-
Step 6Place the coffee-soaked ladyfingers, cut side up, in a 2-quart bowl. Cover with half of the mascarpone mixture.
-
Step 7Sprinkle half of the chocolate and half the almonds over the mascarpone.
-
Step 8Dip the top half of the ladyfingers into the coffee with the cut side down. Let them soak up some of the liquid, but they should remain firm.
-
Step 9Place the coffee-soaked ladyfingers, cut side up, on top of the mascarpone-covered ladyfingers. Cover with the remaining mascarpone mixture, chocolate and almonds.
-
Step 10Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, before serving.
