    Title: Small Town Tiramisu
    Categories: Desserts, Dairy, Wine, Booze, Cheese
    Yield: 10 Servings

    1/2 c Kahlua
    1/2 c Water
    3 tb Instant espresso powder
    6 tb Sugar; divided
    1 c Heavy cream; softly whipped
    6 Whole Egg Yolks
    2 tb Medium-sweet Sherry
    1 lb Mascarpone
    36 Whole ladyfingers
    2 tb Unsweetened cocoa powder

    This is an adaptation of 2 recipes, one from Giada de
    Laurentiis and the other from Gourmet, that scraps certain
    crucial elements (from an Italian perspective) and makes do
    with small town substitutes.

    Bring the Kahlua, water and espresso powder to a boil. Add 2
    tablespoons of sugar and simmer until the sugar is
    dissolved. Set aside.

    Prepare the whipped cream; do not overwhip, you want it
    softly whipped. Set aside.

    Beat the egg yolks, sherry and remaining sugar in a double
    boiler or heat safe bowl over barely simmering water. Beat
    until pale and tripled in volume, about 6 minutes. Remove
    from the heat, and slowly beat in the mascarpone, a dollop
    at a time. Once the mascarpone is incorporated, fold the
    whipped cream in until they are combined completely.

    If you are using crisp ladyfingers, dip each one completely
    in the Kahlua mixture. Shake it off gently, and place it in
    the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish. If your ladyfingers are
    soft, as mine were, lay the ladyfingers out in the pan until
    the entire layer is covered. Brush the Kahlua mixture over
    the ladyfingers. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over
    the ladyfingers. Repeat, ending with the rest of the
    mascarpone mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at
    least 4 hours and up to 8 hours. Sprinkle the top with cocoa
    powder before serving.
