Tiramisu

All the world knows tiramisu. It's luxurious cream and espresso soaked ladyfinger cookies melt in your mouth. I never could imagine that it could be made at home. It is rich and creamy and chocolaty. I was so intimidated to make this dessert. All the preparations and step not to mention the dirty dishes. In the end it was all worth it.

1 ½ package lady finger cookies
½ cup sugar
1 cup Nescafe, hot
2 eggs
200gr/ ½ lb cream cheese
300 gr whipped cream
1 tbsp cocoa for garnish

In a big bowl, whisk eggs and sugar with a mixer till it gets foamy. Add cream cheese, whipped cream and mix for additional 15 minutes. Cover and leave it in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. Meanwhile, make 1 cup of coffee, dissolving ½-1 tbsp of instant Nescafe in 1 cup of hot water. If desired add some sugar in.
Dip lady fingers into the coffee and arrange them side by side over a Pyrex dish. Take the cream mixture out of the fridge and spread half of it over the lady fingers. Then dip the rest of the lady fingers in the coffee and arrange them over. Spread the remaining cream mixture all over evenly. Cover and store the Tiramisu in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. Before serving, cover the surface with cocoa using a small strainer.
