This box may look strange but it's also one of the yummiest desserts that I know of. I made up a batch this evening as I had made a promise to make the dessert.
Tiramisu means “pick-me-up” in Italian. It is definitely high energy - eggs, sugar and caffeine from the espresso coffee. It picked me upped alright it had been a long tiring day with a house filled with people till late afternoon. This time I wasn't thinking of presentation but for the soothing comfort of this yummy dessert.Recipe
Ingredients4 eggs separated
5 tablespoons sugar
300 g Mascarpone cheese
1 large package (approximately 36) ladyfingers
1 tbsp brandy

Directions
Arrange a tight layer of ladyfingers in a 9-by-12-inch serving dish. Using a spoon, drizzle about half the espresso over the ladyfingers.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks.
Then fold in the egg whites to produce a creamy mixture.

Hi Shirls, Gong Xi Fat Chai! Who could resist Tiramisu? I’m very particular about Tiramisu, It’s one of my favorite desserts but like you I'd prefer a home made version as the one sold in the stores often have less recognizable coffee flavor to it. Your recipe sounds excellent, I should have tried it except that I don't have brandy but kahlua.
Hi Elyani, Gong Xi Fa Cai to you too. You can use Kahlua, I like the coffee liqueur very much and use it too. Enjoy :-)
I like it very much.
