Authentic Tiramisu

Recipesfull introduces to you: Italian Recipes. (Authentic Tiramisu). On my first trip to Italy to meet my husband's family back in 1995, I didn't speak a word of Italian. But I did learn how to make great 'dolci' from his sister, Maria. This was her recipe and now when we go back they ask me to make it!

Refrigerate tiramisu until ladyfingers have softened from the espresso and mascarpone mixture 2 to 3 hours.
