Tiramisu

6 egg yolks

1 cup white sugar, divided

1 pound mascarpone cheese

6 egg whites, stiffly beaten

¼ cup heavy cream

3 tablespoons kirschwasser

1 ¼ cups strong brewed coffee, cold

25 ladyfingers

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

In a medium bowl beat together the egg yolks and 1/3 cup of sugar. Using a wooden spoon stir in mascarpone cheese, beaten egg whites, cream and kirschwasser; stir until smooth. Set aside.

Dissolve remaining 2/3 cup sugar in coffee. Quickly, to avoid complete saturation, dip ends of ladyfingers in coffee mixture. Place ladyfingers in a single layer in a 9 x 13 inch glass baking dish. Spread a layer of cheese mixture over the ladyfingers; repeat layers, ending with cheese mixture.

Cover and refrigerate for several hours. Sprinkle with cocoa just before serving.
