LADYFINGER COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• In a saucepan, bring some water to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Find a mixing bowl that will fit over the top of the pan, but not sink all the way in. (Do-it-yourself double boiler!)Put 5 egg yolks into the mixing bowl. Add ¼ cup sugar and whisk until yolks start to turn pale. Place the mixing bowl on the saucepan with the simmering water. Slowly add 1/2 cup Marsala wine and whisk to combine. Cook over the simmering water, and use a rubber spatula to scrape the pan. Cook until thick. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool.Place mascarpone cheese in a bowl and stir until smooth. In a mixing bowl, combine whipping cream and remaining 4 tablespoons sugar and whip until not quite stiff. To the bowl of whipped cream, add the softened mascarpone cheese and the chilled egg yolk mixture. Fold mixture gently. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. Measure 1 ½ cups brewed espresso. Add remaining Marsala and vanilla. Arrange the ladyfingers in a single layer in a 9 x 13 pan. Spoon a small amount of the coffee mixture over each ladyfinger (keep it under 1 tablespoon per cookie and you’ll be fine). Plop 1/3 of the cold cream/mascarpone/zabaglione mixture on top and spread it into a layer. Scatter with raspberries and grate over a thin layer of semi sweet chocolate. Repeat the process two more times. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours before serving. This allows for more moisture to soften the cookies and the whole mixture to meld together. To serve, spoon out helpings onto individual plates. Note: Tiramisu does not last beyond 24 to 36 hours, as everything eventually starts to break down and become soupy.

Steps:

• Brew the coffee.
• In a medium bowl, beat cream and sugar with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
• Add the ROOM TEMPERATURE Mascarpone Cheese into the sugar and cream and mix carefully.
• In another bowl pour the warm coffee and dip cookies.
• Quickly arranging them side by side over the bottom of a lined loaf pan (Allow the plastic wrap to extend on the sides so you can take it out easily when it is ready to serve).
• Layer cookies with the sweet cream and continue layering with another set of cookies (Will allow three layers).
• When done layering, cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate and allow at least two hours for it to set. (Over night is even better).
• Before serving take it out of the loaf pan remove plastic wrap and sift cocoa powder.
• ENJOY! :0 ).
