Here's to you Tiramisu

• 4 oz ground almonds
• 4 oz ground hazelnuts
• 1 cup double strength decaffeinated coffee, cooled
• 6  med. eggs, separated
• 8 T. sweetener (choose from any of the popular brands with the equivalence)
• 1 lb mascarpone
• 2 T. marsala wine
• 3 T. brandy
• 1 T. orange flower water (Substitute orange liqueur, if desired)
• 1/2 lb. bitter chocolate, grated or finely chopped.


1) Soak the nuts and 2 Tbs. sweetener in the coffee for a few hours.
2) Beat the egg yolks with the remaining sweetener until the yolks turn pale in color and the mixture gets very fluffy.
3) Add the mascarpone and liquid ingredients and stir gently.
4) Beat the egg whites until they are in stiff peaks. Fold them into the mascarpone mixture.
Take the serving dish and add a layer of half the nuts, then a layer of mascarpone mixture, finally a sprinkling of chocolate. Repeat.
Chill for at least an hour before serving.

Carlo,
This is the dessert I was telling you about. Had it at Cafe Mozart last week. Can you locate a recipe? I looked in Google, but no luck.

SVEGLIAMISU (WAKE ME UP)
Traditional Tiramisu surrounded with dark cookie crust and decadent chocolate mousse topped with chocolate ganache.

since I had no idea what mascarpone is - I decided to look it up - for those of you who were also wondering! Sounds like a great dessert.

In the tiramisu, I'm assuming that is sweet marsala (not dry marsala). Correct?

That guy who wrote "Men are from Mars Women are from Venus", the book that no one ever read, ...( a Sleepless in Seattle... sigh), had a great concept, but he had it all wrong.

I really have never read Men are from Mars Women are from Venus. Perhaps I should...maybe then I'd understand men...LOL

Besides I identify more with Pluto...
