On my first trip to Italy to meet my husband's family back in 1995, I didn't speak a word of Italian. But I did learn how to make great dolci (desserts) from his sister, Maria. This was her tiramisu recipe, and now they ask me to make it whenever we go back!

Ingredients

  • eggs, separated: 3 piece (divided)
  • white sugar: 0.5 cup
  • brandy: 2 Tbsp
  • brewed espresso, cooled: 2 cups (divided)
  • mascarpone cheese: 2 packages (8 ounce packages)
  • pinch white sugar: 1 piece
  • ladyfingers (such as Savoiardi®): 30 piece
  • unsweetened cocoa powder: 3 Tbsp

  3. Pour remaining espresso into a shallow dish. Dip 1 side of each ladyfinger into espresso and arrange on a serving platter in 2 horizontal rows of 6 and 2 1/2 ladyfingers in opposite directions on both ends to form a rectangular shape.
