- 19 to 21 savoiardi biscuits (Italian dry lady fingers; from a 7-oz package)
- 2 cups freshly made strong coffee
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese (an 8 ¾-oz tub)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- a 3 oz piece bittersweet chocolate
-
Arrange the biscuits in one layer in a shallow 13- by 9-inch oval serving dish, breaking up a few biscuits to fill in holes. Pour coffee evenly over biscuits and let stand until coffee is cool and has been completely absorbed by biscuits, about 10 minutes.
-
Whisk together egg yolks and mascarpone cream in a large bowl.
-
Beat together egg whites and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until mixture forms firm shiny peaks, 4 to 8 minutes. Fold meringue into mascarpone mixture then spoon over soaked biscuits, spreading evenly with a rubber spatula. Chill until firm and cold, about 4 hours.
-
Just before serving, finely grate chocolate directly over tiramisu to cover evenly.
Cooks' Note: Tiramisu keeps, chilled, covered with plastic wrap, 2 days.
