Perfect Tiramisu

Tiramisu looks like a complicated dessert, but in reality it's simple to make.

Ingredients

* 16 ounces Mascarpone cheese
* 2/3 cup sugar
* 1/4 cup Marsala wine
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 2 cups whipping cream, whipped
* 1 cup strong espresso, chilled
* 2 tablespoons Tuca liqueur
* 3 packages (36) ladyfingers
* 1 cup Heath Bits

Instructions

1. Beat mascarpone and sugar until light. Blend in wine and vanilla. Fold in whipped cream.

2. In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine coffee and liqueur.

3. To assemble, split each ladyfinger in half, dip in coffee, liqueur mixture and layer bottom of glass (9 x 13) dish. Top with half the cheese mixture and half the Heath bits; repeat layers ending with Heath bits.

4. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving; overnight is better. Serves 8 generously.
