Here's their tiramisu recipe. Cut 6 oz poundcake into 1/2" cubes and divide among 12 1/2 c. capacity custard cups and set aside. With a mixer on high, beat 8 oz mascarpone cheese with 1-1/4 cups heavy cream until it falls from a spoon in heavy ribbons, about 1 minute. Set aside.
Ina another bowl beat 2 eggs on high til fluffy, 6-8 minutes. Meanwhile in a pot over high heat combine 2/3 c. sugar with 1/2 c. water.. bring to a boil. Cook til sugar dissolves and temp on a candy thermometer reaches 250 degrees. Gradually beat the boiling sugar into the beaten eggs. Continue until slightly cooled, about 3 minutes. Transfer it to a large bowl and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine 3 TB water with 1 envelope plain gelatin and let stand 5 minutes. In small pot over high heat combine 1/2 c water with 1/4 c. sugar and bring to a boil., cooking til sugar dissolves, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 6 TB almond flavored liqueur ( amaretto), 1/4 tsp vanilla, and the gelatin until the gelatin dissolves. Then fold 1/4 of the amaretto mixture into the egg mixture; then fold in cheese mixture.
Drizzle remaining amaretto mixture over the cake cubes and then divide the cheese mixture evenly among the cups. Chill til firm, at least 1 hour, and garnish with billowy snowcaps of whipped cream & a dusting of cocoa powder. Prep time is 30 minutes- lots of quick little steps, but it is worth taking the time to make it.
