OldMan ordered a tiramisu and he loved it. I am glad he has finally caved in and tried new things. The downside is, once he has something, he wants it again... as soon as we get home!
Okay, I admit it, this is so simple it's almost not a recipe! I didn't have mascarpone cheese or a package of lady fingers hanging out in my fridge (I know, the shock) but I made my version of a tiramisu.
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/8 cups ricotta cheese
1 rectangle pound cake
1 1/2 cups brewed coffee
1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar (for topping)
In a medium bowl, beat yolks with sugar and vanilla until smooth and light yellow. Fold ricotta into yolk mixture. Set aside.Slice pound cake in to 'lady finger' size and arrange some of them in the bottom of an 5x9 inch dish. Pour half the coffee over the pieces. Spread half the cheese mixture over the cake pieces. Repeat with remaining cake and cheese. Cover and chill 1 hour. Sprinkle with cinnamon just before serving.
