Tiramisu for 22 at 42<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n3 eggs, separated
\n8 oz mascarpone cheese
\n1 cup strong coffee (because who has a cup of espresso laying around?), divided
\n1 cup sugar, divided
\n1 T. brandy
\n2 T. Kahlua or coffee liqueur<\/p>\n
1 1\/2 packages of lady fingers
\n1 cup heavy cream
\n2 T. cocoa and\/or shaved chocolate<\/p>\n
(If you\u2019re a normal cook and not a Food Network star, you probably only have 1 hand or stand mixer in your kitchen, so included are some hints for that.)<\/p>\n
Beat egg yolks, 1 tablespoon coffee, 1\/2 cup sugar until well combined. Add the mascarpone and beat until smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from mixing bowl and give the bowl a wash and final rinse in cold water.<\/p>\n
Whip egg whites and a pinch of sugar until fairly stiff; gently fold into your mascarpone mixture, just until combined. Don\u2019t over mix.<\/p>\n
Rinse the mixing bowl out in cold water again, dry, and whip the heavy cream with the remaining scant half cup of sugar. (You can adjust the sugar here to taste, and add a teaspoon of vanilla if desired.) Set aside.<\/p>\n
Mix the last of the coffee with the Kahlua or brandy in a shallow bowl. Dip a lady finger quickly, and then line the bottom and then the sides of a 13×9 glass dish or trifle bowl with the cookies. Layer half of the mascarpone mixture, sprinkle with cocoa, then repeat with a layer of dipped ladyfingers. After two layers of cookies, cheese and cocoa, top the top with the whipped cream and cocoa. Drizzle with some Kahlua if desired and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Chill 4-5 hours, but it\u2019s best overnight.<\/p>\n
Sing \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d (or any Taylor Swift song) loud and proud.<\/p>\n
