Tiramisu

For 6

Eggs (3 yolks & 2 whites)
Sugar (4 tbsp)
Mascarpone cream (1 cup + 1 tbsp)
Coffee (just a pot - enough to soak all of the lady fingers in it - make it strong for best flavor)
Savoiardi (300 grams - lady fingers)
Sour Cocoa (to taste - for the top)

Whip the yolks with the sugar, add mascarpone cream & mix well.  In a different bowl, mix the egg whites until thick enough to stand alone (merengue-like), then add them to the first mixture.  Soak each cookie in cold coffee & then lay them in a casserole dish.  Between each layer, put the cream abundantly.  Decorate the top with cocoa powder & refrigerate 3-4 hours before serving.

This recipe comes directly from Italy.  It is copied from my friends' Italian student companian.  It is the best Tiramisu you'll ever have!  I remember when Chiara first made it for us - so good.  I've since made it a couple of times & it is so delicious.  I had it on paper & thought I better share it electronically so I can keep track of it! :)  Enjoy!!!
