I have attached a photo of camera shy Fio and Mike at the Tybee Dog Park....Once again as we hang out at the Bark Park on Tybee Island we decided to hold a 2nd party. The food was wonderful and the top of the favorite list was Fio's Tiramisu. Fio and her husband are currently staying at Flip Flop Cottage on Tybee one of Mermaid Cottages cute homes with their dog Peaches. Check out Mermaid Cottages http://www.mermaidcottages.com/. Diane Kaufman and her band of Merry Mermaids have a wonderful vacation rental company. So, check it out! Back to Fio and Mike... Their permanent home is North Dakota , but decided to spend some time on Tybee Island Fio shared was willing to share her wonderful recipe of her Tiramisu and Mike worked. Thanks Fio and Mike --- enjoy everyone
Fio's Tiramisu
Ingredients:
· 5 eggs, separated
· 8 tablespoons sugar
· 16 oz soft cream cheese or the same amount of Mascarpone cheese (very expensive in US)
· 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
· 2 packages of ladyfinger cookies - about 44 cookies (I used a brand called Alessi's; found them in Publix)
· 2 or 3 tablespoons of Brandy (or more...it depends on your taste)
· expresso coffee (2 cups)
· cocoa powder as needed to shake on top of finished product
· 1 pan (glass or foil)
1. separate the eggs
2. add 5 tablespoons of sugar to the yolks; beat with electric mixer until creamy
3. put cream cheese and heavy cream in a different bowl; beat until creamy
4. add the eggs + sugar mixture to the cream cheese mixture; mix well
5. add the Brandy to the cream
6. beat the egg whites until firm
7. add them gently (with a spatula) to the egg/cheese mixture
8. make the expresso coffee
9. add 3 tablespoons of sugar to the coffee and, maybe, some water if the expresso taste is too strong for you
10. pour some cream cheese mixture on your pan
11. dip the cookies (one at a time) in the coffee and lay them on the pan (ladyfingers absorb liquid quite quickly, so you need not take much time to do this
12. make a layer of cookies, then pour a thick layer of cream cheese mixture
13. make another layer of cookies and another layer of cream cheese mixture
14. finish sprinkling cocoa powder on top of the cream
15. refrigerate at least 5 hours before eating (it' s usually better the next day)
