Tiramasu

(Tiramisu comes from Milan)

2 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
2 TBLSP rum
1 package mascarpone cheese (see note below)


Combine eggs and sugar and rum on top of a double broiler. Whisk over
gentle simmering water until custard
forms.

Remove from water and cool to room temperature in fridge. When cold,
fold into the marscapone cheese:
3/4 cup very strong coffee
1/4 cup Kahlua
2 packages of lady fingers or Stello D'Oro Margherite cookies
cocoa (unsweetened)
grated semisweet chocolate

Mix coffee and Kahlua. Dip lady finger or cookies in coffee mixture and
place in a single layer in a pan or fancy
dish. If you use ladyfingers dip quickly as they absorb quickly and the
Tiramisu will get runny.

Spread half the cream mixture over the top of the cookies or
ladyfingers. Sprinkle with grated chocolate.
Repeat layers again. Sprinkle with Grated chocolate. Refrigerate
overnight and just before serving sprinkle with
cocoa. Don't sprinkle cocoa before serving it gets a little bitter this
way.Always make at least 24 hours ahead.
