Steps:
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Add mascarpone cheese and beat until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of espresso and mix until thoroughly combined.
- In a small shallow dish, add remaining espresso and rum. Dip each ladyfinger into espresso for only 5 seconds. Letting the ladyfingers soak too long will cause them to fall apart. Place the soaked ladyfinger on the bottom of a 13 by 9 inch baking dish, breaking them in half if necessary in order to fit the bottom.
- Spread evenly 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Arrange another layer of soaked ladyfingers and top with remaining mascarpone mixture.
- Cover tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 8 hours.
- Before serving, sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
POOR WOMAN'S TIRAMISU
I was craving coffee and chocolate one night and came up with this yummy version using graham crackers. Drizzle chocolate syrup over individual slices, if you like, for extra chocolate flavor.

Steps:
- Beat heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form. Beat confectioners' sugar, chocolate milk powder, and espresso powder into the whipped cream until the color is consistent and you again have soft peaks.
- Pour coffee into a wide, shallow bowl. Dip graham crackers briefly in the coffee and layer into the bottom of a loaf pan in a single layer to cover the bottom. Spread about 1/4 of the whipping cream mixture over the crackers. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients to get four layers each of the cream and the cookies.
- Cover loaf pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours.

TOASTED ALMOND TIRAMISU (LOWER IN FAT NOT IN FLAVOR!)
This Toasted Almond tiramisu is much lower in fat, no coffee, no raw eggs and is a no bake, easy to make, delish dessert. Soft ladyfingers can be found in the bakery or the frozen-food section of the supermarket.

POOR WOMAN'S TAGINE
Ok, well, it's not really a tangine but it is a slow cooked dish! It's my variation on LadyPit's brown rice and lentil casserole. However, since it is significantly different and vegan to boot, I thought that it would be good to post. In the winter, if you use canned tomatoes, use the juice from the can to replace some of the water for extra tastiness.

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use whole milk or heavy cream instead of skim milk.
- If you don't have ladyfingers, you can use graham crackers or vanilla wafers.
- Be sure to soak the ladyfingers in coffee or espresso for just a few seconds, or they will become too soggy.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can make the custard in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
- Let the tiramisu chill for at least 4 hours before serving, or overnight for the best flavor.
- Garnish the tiramisu with cocoa powder, shaved chocolate, or fresh berries before serving.
Conclusion:
This poor woman's tiramisu is a delicious and easy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it can be made in just a few steps.
