Homemade Tiramisu

I love tiramisu! It is also one of my husband's favorite desserts. I decided to make this for him as a test run for Valentine's Day. There is nothing better than homemade tiramisu! I thought it would be harder to make that what it was. Of course if you made your own ladyfingers it would be. I was able to enjoy this 100% gluten free too! I used Schar Gluten Free Ladyfingers.

The most expensive ingredient was the mascarpone cheese, I purchased it for $5.89 for an 8 oz tub and then the lady fingers which were around $5.00. I had everything else so the price per serving was $1.82 each (large servings). I have seen this dessert as much as $10 per serving in nice Italian restaurants. You could even create this in the shape of a heart or decorate it with the cocoa in the shape of a heart. I may try that for Valentine's Day. 

Be sure to give this Homemade Tiramisu Recipe a try. I promise you will be happy you did!

Ingredients

• 3 egg yolks large eggs
• 3 egg whites large eggs

Instructions

• Soak the ladyfingers well in coffee.
• Beat the egg whites until stiff.

• (If you are not using eggs when you beat the whipping cream with the sugar and add to the mascarpone cheese with rum or rum extract)

• Cover them with ½ of the cream mixture.
• Add another layer of lady fingers.
