Salerno Tiramisu

A friend of mine gave this recipe to me on a lid where she'd found it. It's delish. Try it, you'll think so too!

• Ready In: 2 hrs 30 mins
• Serves: 6
• Yields: 1 pie sized tiramisu

Ingredients

• 500  g  salerno mascarpone
• 1 1⁄2 cups  espresso or 1 1⁄2 cups  strong coffee
• 6  eggs
• 6  tablespoons sugar
• 2 (300 g) packages ladyfingers
• 1  ounce  liqueur, of your choice (Tia Maria, Kalua, etc.)
•  semi-sweet chocolate shavings

Directions

1. Separate egg yolks from egg whites into two different bowls.
2. Beat egg yolks with sugar until creamy smooth. Add mascarpone and liqueur.
3. Beat egg whites in a separate bowl until firm and fluffy, Fold into mascarpone mixture.
4. Dip Lady Fingers into coffee. Layer bottom of pie plate with the Lady Fingers. Cover with Mascarpone mixture. Repeat biscuits and Mascarpone mixture layers.
5. Sprinkle with semi sweet chocolate shavings. Refrigerate before serving. May also be frozen.
6. The prep time includes chilling time at which I'm guessing as the lid doesn't say! I think it's tastiest half frozen.
