Pineapple Tiramisu recipe

Tiramisu in Italian means, "pick me up," if you are feeling down maybe this famous Italian dessert will do the trick.

Ingredients:


4 large eggs*
2 cups Mascarpone cheese, don't use substitutes
36 Savoiardi (lady fingers)
1 can sliced pineapple (no sugar added)
3/4 cup sugar
3 cups pineapple juice (no sugar added)

Instructions:

1. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and then refrigerate.
2. In a large bowl beat the egg yolks with the sugar until fluffy. Use an electric hand mixer or a food processor.
3. Add the mascarpone cheese and mix until well combined.
4. Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture.
5. Dip both sides of the lady fingers into the pineapple juice and place them in the cake dish (my dish is oval about 18" x 10").
6. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers then cover this layer with remaining ladyfingers always dipped in the pineapple juice.
7. Complete the dish spreading the rest of the mascarpone cream.
8. Decorate with the pineapple slices and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, better yet overnight.

Notes:

By definition Tiramisu should only refer to the traditional recipe, however reality is that people are making a lot of varieties with fruit and other ingredients.
