"Pavesini" Biscuits
Chocolate Dust
Coffee (already done, liquid)

cream
# mix the red part of the eggs with the sugar, till they become clear and foamy;
# add the mascarpone cheese and mix the whole
# add soflty the clear part of the eggs (after you shake them, in english they say "to whisk egg-whites stiff) and mix softly
# you can (I don't like it):
- add a bit of cacao dust in the cream
- add a little bit of a alcoolic liqueur (Amaretto di Saronno, Marsala...) in the cream
layers
# keep ready some cold coffee
# place a layer the "pavesini biscuits" in the case and wet them with the coffee
# place over it a layer of cream
# place another layers of biscuits
# cover it with cream
(..)
# make as many layer you like
# over the last layer, place the cream
# over the bottom cream layer, scatter the cacao dust

you should keep it in the frigo at least 8/10 hours before tasting it, and please take care, as it is not kooked, you should have the tiramisu in 24 hours. :D :D

OH MY GOD I loooooooooooove tiramisu!!!!

My dad makes it often at special days (we ate it twice in x-mas days!!!! :D )

instead of the coffee you can put the bicuits in fresh orange or strawberry juice.. it sounds weird but it'll be like a fresh pie.. I like it with the coffee a lot more tho :p

Where's the booze?
I thought you'd forgotten the alcohol until I read the instructions! I think booze is a must in tiramisu! At least in my aunt's recipy ;)

Should the cream for the top be whipped?

And I think you mean yolk with the red part of the egg (here they are always yellow tho, we don't feed our hens any shit here!)

our eggs are also yellow.. i think it's just some english thing..

my recipe is also pretty different.. there must be also coffeemilk with the mascarpone, no white egg stuff..
i put the biscuits (i think you call it lady fingers) a mix of cold very strong coffee with a bit of coffeeliquor just a sec and then sink it in a layer of the mascarponemix

not very different tho ;)

Egg yolk is called "rosso dell' uovo" in Italian, the "red of the egg".

No clue why.

[jabumbo]

you have to separate the eggs first?

[b-grrrlie]

Well otherwise you can't first mix the yolks with sugar and then the white with the rest, doh! :rolleyes:
