Tiramisu is such a delicious dessert from Italy with many variations. In my version I left out the uncooked egg yolks and used vanilla flavored whipped cream blended with the marscapone for a loghtens creamy filling and topping. It's a great ending to any meal with its great coffee, vanilla flavor.

Steps

1

I used a 9 inch springform pan for this Tiramisu. It will have a round shape, which interestingly is the original shape. I wanted the removable side for a clean presentation. You can use a 9 inch cake pan.
2

In bowl mix coffee with 1 teaspoon vanilla and refrigerate until cold
3

Beat cream until it forms stiff peaks, refrigerate while you beat marscapone
4

Beat marscaspone, confectioner's sugar, salt and the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth
5

Fold marscapne into whipped cream in 3 additions until well combined. Refrigerate until needed
6
7

Dip each ladyfinger quickly in the cold coffee mixture and place them on the bottom of the springform pan. Don't overlap them but squeeze them very close together to completely cover the bottom

Cover lady fingers with 1/3 of the marscapone cream. Dust cream with cocoa powder

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
