Tiramisu, Tiramisu Recipe

1 cup(8floz/225ml) heavy whipping cream
1 cup(8oz/225g) mascarpone cheese (, room temperature (see substitute idea below))
1/3 cup(2 1/2 oz/71g) sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon Amaretto liquor or Brandy ((optional but yummy!))
2 cups(16oz/450ml) espresso or STRONG coffee (at room temperature)
1 pack Ladyfingers
Cocoa powder for dusting the top

Beat whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
Add in mascarpone cheese and amaretto (if using) and continue to whip to stiff peaks.
Dip ladyfingers in coffee (and brandy if using) and place in an 8×8 pan to make the first layer – you can fit about 7-9 cookies in each layer. Don't let them soak as the will fall apart, just a quick dunk in the coffee is enough.
Spread half of the whipped cream mixture on top of the first layer of ladyfingers. Repeat process with the second layer of ladyfingers and cream mixture.
Dust the top of dessert with cocoa powder using a sieve. Refrigerate for about 2-4 hours (it gets even better in the fridge and is a perfect make-ahead dessert).

Great! However the recipe "as is" only fills an 8 inch loaf pan. If you want to fill an 8x8 and look like the photo you need to DOUBLE the filling

Lady Fingers aren't sold in my area, and Mascarpone is only occasional, but short bread cookies, dried out pound cake, or crusty angel food cake works nice, as does good ol' Philly. Pintrest introduced me to Strawberry Tiramisu, with orange juice instead of coffee, and fresh strawberries instead of chocolate, and Lemon Tiramisu, made with orange or grapefruit juice, and Lemon Curd. The Strawberry tastes like Spring, the Lemon tastes like Summer. All three are for diet busting celebrations. And if you play your cards right, three desserts don't go to waste.
