To-Die-For Tiramisu

I'm going to go ahead and make a big statement here.  This is quite possibly the best tiramisu you'll ever have and I will also predict it is the easiest you'll ever whip up.  No ladyfingers to find (or make, ugh), no baking in the oven.  Just a coffee pot and a mixer is all you'll need.  Perfect for a small holiday gathering.  I made mine this morning and will savor it with my husband tonight after the kiddos hit the hay.  Enjoy!

 You'll need:
3/4 cup of egg substitute (I researched this the safety of uncooked egg substitute here and found it to be perfectly safe (unless you're pregnant- sorry friends!).
1 cup espresso or strong coffee, cooled 
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp Kahlua (could also use brandy or cognac or you could eliminate alcohol entirely)
8 oz Mascarpone cheese Mascarpone is an Italian sweet cream cheese that you can usually find this time of year with other hard and soft cheeses in your local deli.  It is oh-so-yummy.
2 tbsp cocoa 
1 package Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies (I use these instead of ladyfingers and think they're the best!)

 

Step 1:  Combine eggs, 1 tbsp espresso, sugar, and Kahlua into large bowl and beat 2-3 minutes.  Add Mascarpone and beat 3-5 minutes more.  (Should look like the picture above when it's done).

 Step 2:  Quickly dip each Milano cookie into remaining coffee and layer on the bottom of a small serving dish.  I use three cookies per ramekin.

 

Step 3: Spread Mascarpone mixture on top of cookies and sprinkle with cocoa.  Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving. Serves 6.
