This recipe comes from the side of an Italian (I think) brand of ladyfingers.
I don't remember the brand, but the recipe is Matilde's Tiramisu.
14 oz ladyfingers (or as many as fit in your dish)
14 oz marscapone cheese (or ricotta)
4 eggs separated
4 oz sugar
2 cups espresso or strong coffee
cocoa and powdered sugar
Beat egg whites until stiff white peaks. In a separate bowl, beat egg
yolks and sugar until creamy and lemon colored. Add marscapone cheese
to egg yolk mixture, beat until smooth. Then fold in the egg whites.
Soak the ladyfingers in the coffee, and make a layer of half of them.
(I found quickly dipping each ladyfinger in the coffee worked well)
Cover layer of ladyfingers with half the cheese. Repeat layer of
ladyfingers and layer of cheese.
Mix together about 2 tsp of cocoa with 2 tsp powdered sugar, and sift
over the top. Cover and refrigerate.
Marinos, an Italian restaurant in Cambridge, serves their tiramisu with
a chocolate sauce on the side, this is an approximation I made up.
Chocolate Sauce:
4-5 Tbsp butter
7-9 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup sugar
1/4-1/2 cup milk
2-3 Tbsp corn syrup
1/2-1 tsp vanilla
In top of a double boiler, over boiling water, melt butter and mix with
cocoa powder. Once melted and smooth, mix in sugar, keep stirring until
smooth. Add milk, and keep stirring until creamy consistency (for a while
there it looks like individual bits of chocolate floating in milk, but it
does eventually combine.) At this point it's still quite bitter, so add
corn syrup, continue adding corn syrup until desired sweetness. Let it
cool and then stir in vanilla.
