This recipe was given me by an Italian friend.  I do it to use the egg yolks up when making Pavlova.  It also works very well with Amaretto instead of cognac.  In summer she omits the coffee and uses orange and starwberry juice with Cointreau to dip the biscuits and a layer of sliced strawberries on top of the biscuits.

500g Mascarpone
5 egg yolks
50g icing sugar

Beat these well to combine flavours and incorporate some air.

Take about 2 cups of strong coffee and add 5tbs cognac or amaretto.

Dip sponge fingers in and then place them in a single layer on the base of a square or oblong dish.   Pour over the mascarpone mixture.  Dust with pure cocoa powder and leave to chill overnight.  Dust again with cocoa just before serving.

Hi Rosebud

Posted a recipe in R4A last year: http://www.recipes4all.co.uk/index.php/topic,181.0.html

The thing about tiramisu is that its a relatively new dessert only invented around 15-20 years ago and there seem to be any number of "Italian" versions both here and in Italy. ;)  So take your pick!
