Tiramisu("pick me up") is a modern version of a dessert first created
in Siena, where it was called zuppa del Duca (the Duke's soup!). From
there it migrated to Florence, where it became very popular in the
nine- teenth century among the many English people who came to live
in the city at that time. And so it was called zuppa inglese--English
soup. Only recently, the same dessert with some variation--chiefly
the substitution of rich mascarpone cheese for the original
custard--has come to be called tiramisu.

Make a zablione by beating the egg yolks and sugar in the top of a
double boiler until ivory colored. Add 1/3 cup liquor and whisk over
gently simmering water until the mixture begins to thicken. Let cool.

Stir the coffee into the mascarpone. Whip the cream to soft peaks.
Beat the egg white until stiff. Fold the egg white into the
zabaglione. Dip the lady fingers into the remaining liquor and
arrange in a single layer in the bottom of a 9 in. bowl. Cover them
with half the mascarpone, then half the zabaglione and half the
cream. Repeat the layers, finishing with the cream. Refrigerate for
several hours before serving. From: Fred Towner Date: 08-03-93
