Thank you!

A Big Thank you for all of the great comments on my 200th Blip!!! I greatly appreciate all of you and your words!

Today was such a beautiful day...ventured out to the local zoo early this morning...here are the pics...

And this delish creamy so very rich sinfulness would be my favorite dessert...Tiramisu...

TIRAMISU

6 egg yolks
1 1/4 cups white sugar
1 1/4 cups mascarpone cheese (Italian cream cheese)
1 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream
2 (12 ounce) packages ladyfingers
1/3 cup coffee flavored liqueur

1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
1 (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate

DIRECTIONS

Combine egg yolks and sugar in the top of a double boiler, over boiling water. Reduce heat to low, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and whip yolks until thick and lemon colored. (Cool a bit before moving to the next step - I also add a tad bit of vanilla).

Add mascarpone to whipped yolks. Beat until combined.

In a separate bowl, whip cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold into yolk mixture and set aside.

Split the lady fingers in half, and line the bottom and sides of a large glass bowl. Brush with coffee liqueur (or dunk them in there for a few seconds).

Spoon half of the cream filling over the lady fingers. Repeat ladyfingers, coffee liqueur and filling layers. Garnish with cocoa and chocolate curls.

Refrigerate several hours or overnight.

To make the chocolate curls, use a vegetable peeler and run it down the edge of the chocolate bar.
