My eggless, cobbled together tiramisu recipe.

Brew a double shot of espresso or 1 cup of strong coffee, and set aside to cool. Add 1/3 cup of port wine, rum or brandy. Put this mix in a shallow dish and set aside.

Blend 8 ounces of marscapone with a half cup of fine or powdered sugar. Use a spatula to make it easier. Set aside.

In a chilled mixing bowl, beat 1 pint heavy cream with a dash of vanilla. Feel free to add a dash of coffee liqueur or rum or whatever alcohol you happen to be using. Whip the cream until it forms soft, floaty waves. With the spatula, gently blend the whipped cream and the marscapone together bit by bit.

Take one package of lady finger cookies, about 7 ounces, and find a dish to put all this stuff inside. I used a deep loaf pan. Dip each cookie into your coffee mixture until nicely saturated. Don't dunk the entire cookie at once or leave it too long as it will disintegrate. Line the bottom of your dish with soaked cookies, and then drizzle a sppon or two of the mixture over them. Spread on a generous layer of marscapone cream and sprinkle with cocoa or finely grated chocolate.

Repeat this process until you run out of cookies or room in your dish. Top it off with some fluffy swirls of marscapone cream and more cocoa sprinkles. Let sit in the fridge for a couple hours, or overnight, to allow flavors to meld.

I had been craving tiramisu, and bought the marscapone and lady fingers on a whim. At home I realized I didn't have enough eggs, and no marsala so I just winged it along. I'm rather pleased with how it came out and hopefully I'll get the chance to experiment more with it.
