Recipe - Bel Gioiosos Basic Tiramisu

3 lg EGGS; with yolks and whites
separated
One half cup SUGAR
8 ounce MASCARPONE
1 cup EXPRESSO or STRONG COFFEE
2 tablespoon COGNAC or BRANDY
20 LADY FINGERS; toasted,
1/8 cup COCOA

The company that makes this particular brand of cheese (Bel Gioioso,
pronouced "beljoyoso" Cheese Inc. of Denmark, Wisconsin) put this recipe
on the side of its 8ounce Mascarpone container. They call it their "Famous
'Tiramisu' Dessert Recipe," but then again, I guess every cheese company,
every restaurant has a "famous" recipe. This one makes 6 servings.
Directions 1. Combine 3 egg yolks, 1 tablespoon Espresso, sugar, and Cognac
into the large mixing bowl. 2. Beat 2 to 3 minutes. 3. Add Mascarpone and
beat 3 to 5 minutes until consistency is smooth. 4. In another bowl,
combine 3 egg whites and a pinch of sugar. Beat until mixture forms stiff
peaks. 5. Gently fold into Mascarpone mixture. 6. Pour rest of Espresso
into flat dish, dip one side of each Lady Finger, and layer on bottom of
serving dish. 7. Spread 1/3 of Mascarpone mixture and sprinkle with cocoa.
8. Continue layering and finish with a Mascarpone layer. 9. Sprinkle and
refrigerate 1 hour before serving.
