 The company that makes this particular brand of cheese (Bel Gioioso,


 pronouced "bel-joy-oso" Cheese Inc. of Denmark, Wisconsin) put this recipe


 on the side of its 8-ounce Mascarpone container. They call it their "Famous


 'Tiramisu' Dessert Recipe," but then again, I guess every cheese company,


 every restaurant has a "famous" recipe. This one makes 6 servings.


 Directions 1. Combine 3 egg yolks, 1 tablespoon Espresso, sugar, and Cognac


 into the large mixing bowl. 2. Beat 2 to 3 minutes. 3. Add Mascarpone and


 beat 3 to 5 minutes until consistency is smooth. 4. In another bowl,


 combine 3 egg whites and a pinch of sugar. Beat until mixture forms stiff


 peaks. 5. Gently fold into Mascarpone mixture. 6. Pour rest of Espresso


 into flat dish, dip one side of each Lady Finger, and layer on bottom of


 serving dish. 7. Spread 1/3 of Mascarpone mixture and sprinkle with cocoa.


 8. Continue layering and finish with a Mascarpone layer. 9. Sprinkle and


 refrigerate 1 hour before serving.
