TIRAMISU

Here is a delicious Italian dessert.

500 g Marscapone Galbani cheese           
4 egg yolks
2 egg whites
5 espresso cups of strong coffee
cocoa powder
200 g loeffel biscuits
2 shots amaretto or brandy
5 tbsp. sugar


1.  Cool coffee.
2.  Beat egg yolks with sugar till white and thick.
3.  Beat egg whites till stiff in a separate bowl.
4.  Put yolk mixture into white and beat GENTLY till thick.
5.  Add amaretto, then cheese, and GENTLY beat together.
6.  Dip biscuits into coffee and put into bottom of 9"x11" pan.
7.  Then put cheese mixture on top.
8.  Then sprinkle some cocoa powder on top.
9.  Repeat steps 6-8 for another layer or two.

This has been a smash hit dessert for me every time.  The cheese
I have to buy at an Italian cheese shop or International cheese
shop and the loeffel biscuits I get at a Hungarian Deli.

Good Luck.
