Tiramatzah

No that is not a miss-print. Our home group is doing a passover feast on Wednesday and a friend in the group asked if I could bring this dish. I am very excited to eat it and am possibly considering making it again for our family feast on Easter. I got this recipe from a traditional recipe at allrecipe.com and added the matzah as described at Evil Mad Scientist Labatory.

Ingredients

6 egg yolks
1 1/4 cups white sugar
1 1/4 cups mascarpone cheese
1 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream
about 1/2 package matzah
1/3 cup coffee flavored liqueur
1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
1 ounce square semisweet chocolate

Directions

1. Combine egg yolks and sugar in the top of a double boiler, over boiling water. Reduce heat to low, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and whip yolks until thick and lemon colored.
2. Add mascarpone to whipped yolks. Beat until combined. In a seperate bowl, whip cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold into yolk mixture and set aside.
3. Split the matzah and line bottom of a 8x8 glass pan . Brush with coffee liqueur. Spoon half of cream filling over the matzah. Repeat matzah, coffee liqueur and filling layers. Repeat until pan is full, ending with cream filling. Garnish with cocoa and chocolate curls. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
4. To make chocolate curls, use a vegetable peeler and run it down the edge of the chocolate bar. It helps if the chocolate was in the fridge.
