MOCHA TIRAMISU

MOCHA TIRAMISU

Ingredients for 8 Servings

2 tbsp Instant coffee crystals
1/2 cup Hot water
3 oz Packages ladyfingers (24) cut crosswise into quarters

8 oz Mascarpone or cream cheese softened
2 cups Whipping cream
1 tsp Vanilla extract
6 oz Miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips
Grated semi-sweet chocolate and/or strawberries, optional

Procedure:

1. Once trendy, this chocolate-and-coffee-flavored Italian dessert (whose name translates literally as pick me up)
   is now firmly entrenched as a classic. You can also make this Tiramisu dessert in a large glass serving bowl
   instead of creating individual parfait glass servings.
2. Dissolve coffee crystals in hot water; set aside 1 tablespoon of the coffee mixture.
3. Brush remaining coffee mixture in cut sides of ladyfingers; set aside.
4. With mixer, gradually beat ¾ cup of the Eagle Brand into mascarpone in large bowl.
5. Add 1 ¼ cups of the whipping cream, vanilla and reserved coffee mixture, beta until soft peaks form.
6. Fold in half of the chips.
7. In small saucepan, melt remaining chips with remaining Eagle Brand.
8. Using 8 tall dessert glasses or parfait glasses, layer mascarpone mixture, chocolate mixture and ladyfinger pieces,
   beginning and ending with mascarpone mixture.
9. Cover and chill at least 4 hours.
10. To serve, with mixer, beat remaining whipping cream until soft peaks form.
11. Spoon whipped cream over layered desserts. Garnish with grated chocolate and strawberries if desired.
12. Store leftovers covered in refrigerator.
13. Prep Time: 30 minutes
