Now that the Holiday season has passed, it's time to start posting some of Shannon's favorite recipes again. Let's start with a great Italian dessert - Tiramisu. Enjoy.

Ingredients

• 1 Pound of Mascarpone Cheese
• 1/2 Cup of Sugar
• 4-5 Tablespoons of Kahlua
• 1 ½ Cups of Heavy Whipping Cream
• 1 Large Pack of Lady Fingers
• 1 -2 Cups Strong Brewed Coffee
• 1 Tablespoon of Vanilla
• 2 Egg Whites
• 1 Dark Chocolate Bar

Instructions

In a large bowl mix together the mascarpone, ¼ cup sugar, and egg whites until a smooth consistency is achieved. In a chilled bowl add the heavy whipping cream, vanilla and remaining ¼ cup of sugar. Beat until soft peaks form and it becomes whipped cream. Fold the cheese mixture into the whipped cream mixture. In another bowl add the Kahlua to the coffee. Dip the ladyfingers quickly in the coffee mixture (do not soak as they will become soggy), and the place the cookies in rows in a cake pan. Spread a layer of mascarpone/cream mixture across the ladyfingers. Shave chocolate mixture over that layer and repeat steps (sort of like making lasagna) until all the ingredients have been used. Shave chocolate over the top layer and make some curls. Cover and chill over night.

This recipe looks great. I am also a fan of Tiramisu with lady fingers on the side of the cake.
