Tiramisu

Tiramisu Cake "pick-me-up !"
Some chefs use raw egg yolks others cooked like a custard.
I simply put in two farm fresh raw whole eggs in the mix.
What you'll need:
One package store bought lady fingers
Two eggs
One 8 oz package softened cream cheese
1/4 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup fresh ricotta cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup marsala wine
1/4 cup cold espresso coffee
1/4 cup Kahlua
Cocoa powder for dusting or chocolate shavings
What you do:
line a bread loaf pan with plastic wrap, enough to overlap the top.
Put some cocoa powder on bottom,
In a mixing bowl blend eggs, sugar, marsala and cheese til whipped up good.
Add the whipped cream by folding it in the cheese mixture.
Then put in a layer of cheese mixture in pan.
Over that place a layer of lady fingers dipped in coffee and Kahlua.
Then another layer of cheese mixture and then lady fingers then the rest of the cheese.
Fold over the plastic to cover the entire top and refrigerate.
To serve, uncover plastic wrap and invert on a plate big enough to hold it when sliced.
Top with shaved chocolate if desired.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 3 hours (or for up to 1 day) before serving.
