Tiramisù

Comes from the word “Pick me Up”-
During these days of Corona and isolation preparing this tiramisu will sure bring a smile to those around you! 

Serves 16-20

2-pounds marscapone cheese, at room temperature

1 ½ cups heavy cream (35%)

1 ¼ cups sugar

2 Tsps pure vanilla extract

2 ½ cups cold strong Italian espresso coffee

¼ cup brandy or dark rum

40 ladyfinger cookies

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Shaved semisweet chocolate for garnish

You can prepare this either in a medium size trifle bowl or a 9 x 13 dish.

• In a stand mixer beat the marscapone, cream, sugar and vanilla for two minutes until thick and smooth. 
• In a shallow bowl mix the cold coffee with the liquor.
• Lightly dip the ladyfingers into the liquid, one at a time and place them very close together in your bowl or dish. 
• Spread half of the marscapone mixture over the ladyfingers.
• Sprinkle the cocoa powder over the marscapone through a fine mesh straine(IMPORTANT-DO NOT WANT CLUMPS). Repeat. 
• Top with the remaining marscapone making another layer.
• Sprinkle with the cocoa powder again. 
• Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate several hours. The longer it rests the more flavourful.
• Just before serving, sprinkle some shaved semi sweet chocolate on top
