TRADITIONAL ITALIAN TIRAMISU
I got the main recipe for this Tiramisu from the Sopranos Family Cookbook. I changed the Liquor to Frangelico and altered some of the measurements and it's perfect! Every time I am invited to a get together I am asked to bring this and my Manicotti! I hope you all enjoy it! It's best made the day before so that the ingredients have time to mix with each other!

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl combine the mascarpone cheese, Frangelico liquor and sugar.
- In a separate bowl whip the whipping cream till soft peaks form.
- Gently fold mascarpone mixture into the whip cream.
- In an 8x8-inch glass serving dish layer 1/2 the ladyfingers tightly on the bottom.
- Drizzle 1/2 the espresso over the ladyfingers, trying to saturate them evenly.
- Spread 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture on top of the ladyfingers.
- Sprinkle 1/2 of the shaved chocolate over the top.
- Layer remaining ladyfingers on top of the shaved chocolate. Again, you are looking to get a nice tight layer.
- Drizzle the remaining espresso over the ladyfingers.
- Spread the rest of the mascarpone mixture on top of the ladyfingers. You can either spread it nice and smooth with a spatula OR spread the mixture and create soft peaks for texture and appearance.
- Sprinkle the remaining shaved chocolate on top.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight for best results (at least 8 hours).
- Enjoy!

AUTHENTIC TIRAMISU
On my first trip to Italy to meet my husband's family back in 1995, I didn't speak a word of Italian. But I did learn how to make great 'dolci' from his sister, Maria. This was her recipe and now when we go back they ask me to make it!

Steps:
- Beat 1/2 cup sugar, egg yolks, brandy, and 1 tablespoon espresso together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mascarpone cheese to sugar-egg mixture and beat until well blended, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Beat egg whites and a pinch sugar in a bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into mascarpone mixture.
- Pour remaining espresso into a shallow dish. Dip 1 side of each ladyfinger into the espresso and arrange on a serving platter in 2 horizontal rows of 6 with 2 1/2 ladyfingers in opposite direction on both ends to form a rectangular shape.
- Spread 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture onto the ladyfinger layer and dust with 1/2 of the cocoa powder. Repeat with remaining ladyfingers dipped in espresso, mascarpone mixture, and cocoa powder. Refrigerate tiramisu until ladyfingers have softened from the espresso and mascarpone mixture, 2 to 3 hours.

Steps:
- Bring all the ingredients at room temperature. Make 2 cups of espresso and pour into a rim soup plate then add the milk and set aside. In a mixing bowl beat egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow and creamy, then add the mascarpone and beat until well incorporated. In another mixing bowl beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold the beaten egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until blend. Spoon the bottom of a baking dish with a little amount of the mascarpone cream. Dip briefly the ladyfingers (one at the time) into the milk & coffee mixture, gently squeeze out the excess of liquid. Make a layer of dipped ladyfingers on the baking dish, then spoon half of the mascarpone cream trying to cover all the ladyfingers. Sprinkle the tiramisu' with the cocoa powder using a little sifter. Make another layer of dipped ladyfingers, spoon the rest of the mascarpone cream all over the ladyfingers and cover the entire tiramisu' with cocoa powder (always using a little sifter). Cover the Tiramisu' with lid or cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 to 4 hours. Usually I make my Tiramisu' one day before serving it taste even better! Buon Appetito =)
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the coffee and cocoa powder.
- Make sure the mascarpone is cold before using it.
- Beat the egg yolks and sugar until they are thick and pale in color.
- Fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture gently.
- Soak the ladyfingers in the coffee mixture briefly, just until they are softened.
- Layer the tiramisu in a dish, starting with a layer of ladyfingers.
- Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours before serving.
