Anyone have a truly rich and wonderful recipe for Tiramisu using real chocolate, marsala and marscapone cheese? I keep finding "light" recipes, and they just won't do.

Mario Batali is one of the stars of the Food TV Network. The Tiramisu can be served at room temperature. Tiramisu was served chilled in the 1980s.
Ingredients
STRONG ESPRESSO, 4 ounces (or substitute 2 teaspoons instant coffee in 1/2 cup water)
ITALIAN BRANDY, 2 ounces
EGG YOLKS, 4
SUGAR, 2 tablespoons
EGG WHITES, 2
MASCARPONE CHEESE, 2 cups (may substitute ricotta or cream cheese)
SAVOIARDI, 30 small, or 15 broken in half (you can use lady fingers)
BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE, 3 ounces, broken into 1/4-inch pieces
MILK CHOCOLATE, 3 ounces, shaved or grated
WINE GOBLETS, 6 large
Directions
Mix coffee and brandy together and set aside.
Over a double boiler, beat egg yolks and sugar until mixture lightens in color and forms ribbons (i.e. halfway to zabaglione). Allow to cool 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, beat egg whites to stiff peaks.
Fold mascarpone into egg yolk mixture one quarter at a time.
Fold mascarpone mixture into egg whites and set aside.
Lay savoiardi along edges of wine goblets all the way to the bottom, lining the entire glass (while keeping 6 savoiardi for later use).
Using a pastry brush, and paint the cookies with the espresso/brandy mixture.
Fill each goblet one-third full with mascarpone mixture and sprinkle with broken chocolate.
Lay one savoiardi across center and paint with coffee mixture.
Fill each goblet with remaining mascarpone mixture, topping each with shaved chocolate.
Lay one savoiardi in each goblet and paint with espresso mixture.

Get into your car, drive to the nearest Olive Garden, purchase sufficient servings of Tiramisu for your guests, drive home, put onto individual dessert dishes in the kitchen (where no one can see you ditch the OG bag) and then, at the appropriate time, serve the dessert. When they tell you they must have the recipe, just nod and smile.
