We've had several requests for the recipe we served at the Scrapthon so here you go!
Tiramisu
from Gourmet Magazine
Expresso Syrup:
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup strong brewed espresso coffee
1/4 cup Italian or domestic brandy, optional
Mascarpone Filling:
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pound mascarpone cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 pound savoiardi (imported Italian ladyfingers), domestic ladyfingers, or sliced sponge cake Finishing Cocoa powder for dusting the surface
For the syrup, combine water and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat, cool and add coffee and optional brandy.
For the filling, whip cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Fold cream into softened mascarpone.
To assemble, place a layer of the savoiardi, ladyfingers or sponge cake slices in the bottom of a shallow 2-quart baking dish or gratin dish. Sprinkle with half the syrup. Spread with half the filling. Repeat with remaining savoiardi, syrup and filling, spreading the top smooth, using a metal spatula.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving. Immediately before serving place cocoa in a fine strainer and shake a light coating on surface.
Enjoy!

all i had to do was skim through the ingredients to know this one's too tough for me! sounds great -- Lorrie promised some to Marie and I, hard at work at The Store, but needless to say that fell through -- we lost out -- but i'll bet it was wonderful!!
WOW...this looks DELICIOUS. can't wait to try it!
OK, Julie, I'm drooling. Even tho I love to cook, I don't quite make it in the dessert category. So.... when are ya makin this for us that didn't get to have some????
