TIRAMISU

Yield: 8 Servings

4 eggs, separated
¾ c sugar
2 - 8 oz containers of mascarpone cheese
½ c coffee [½ c water & 1 tsp instant coffee)
¼ c Kahlua
2 pkg lady fingers
1 c finely grated Toblerone bar

In bowl of a stand mixer, beat yolks adding sugar gradually until well mixed, (no gritty feeling is left). Add cheese and mix well. Beat egg whites in deep bowl until soft peaks form. Fold into cheese mixture.

Mix the coffee and Kahlua in a small bowl.

Using a large (12 c) serving dish (I use a glass trifle bowl) spread ¼ of cheese mixture on the bottom. Dip the lady fingers in the coffee/Kahlua mixture and cover the cheese layer. Sprinkle the grated Toblerone over the cheese layer and repeat layers until all of the mixture is used up.

Refrigerate 6 hours or overnight. Serve chilled.

Notes:
(i) Because I use a trifle bowl I use extra lady fingers and coffee/Kahlua mixture and I space the lady fingers (about ½ inch apart) around the sides of the bowl which makes for a nice presentation.
