Maria's Tiramisu

Rob claims that he doesn't actually cook, so he got this recipe from his friend Maria. Although cream cheese can be used instead of mascarpone, Rob threatened to fail me if anyone 'cheated'. Sheesh - teachers...I shouldn't complain, though...he tried to palm off "Honeymoon Salad" on me...(you know "just lettuce alone"......)

4 eggs, separated
3/4 cup sugar
1 pound mascarpone (or cream cheese)
6 - 12 cups espresso (seems a bit much to me, maybe 'shots' instead of cups???)
1/4 cup rum or anisette
2 packages lady fingers
chocolate shavings for garnish

Beat egg yolks with sugar and cheese until creamy. Beat egg white; fold into cheese mixture.

Soak cookies in coffee and rum.

Line a glass dish with 1 layer of cookies. Cover with 1/2 the cheese mixture. Repeat once more.

Garnish with chocolate shavings.

Chill 4 hours before serving.

Back to school!
