Simple Tiramisu Recipe :)

I love to bake, and although I am not a pro, I get recipe's and tweek them so I can come up with something new.  I work with all guys, so it helps because I get to use them as my guinea pigs(Thanks guys!).
In this post I will show you my Tiramisu recipe.

 Ingredients(you will need multiple bowls for mixing):
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar   
1/2 cup sweet Marsala wine
1 lb mascarpone cheese   
1 cup heavy cream
20-40 ladyfinger cookies(not the soft kind)

Ingredients to soaking coffee:

2 cups of espresso
2 tsp sugar
2 Tbs cocoa powder
(Optional)
1/2 cup of bacardi
1/2 cup of Disaronno Amaretto
1) In a double broiler(*) mix the eggs, the sugar and the Marsala wine.

2) Mix over the double broiler until the mixture thickens and becomes a custard
3) In another bowl mix the Mascarpone Cheese until smooth and creamy
 4) Mix the custard mixture and the mascarpone cheese together until smooth.

5) In a separate bowl whip the heavy cream until it is thicker and looks like whip cream

6) Add the cream into the mixture by folding it in as shown above (do not stir)
 Once you have the mixture made you need to get your setup together to put it all together....

7) In a separate bowl mix the espresso, the sugar (if you want to add alcohol, add the bacardi and Amaretto as well)
This is the needed setup, now you are ready to start layering
8) Soak the lady fingers in the espresso mixture for 3-6seconds and place in the pan as shown above

9) Spread a think layers of the mixture over the lady fingers and start a second layer
10) After the second layer is complete, sprinkle cocoa all over the top then put in the refrigerator to chill for 1-2hours

Now you are done! Enjoy, I hope you enjoy the recipe!!!
