  3. Once you have reached that stage, take the bowl off the heat and whisk for a minute to cool it down. 
  4. In a separate bowl whip the marscapone cheese for a few seconds so it becomes smoother and easier to mix.
  5. In a separate bowl add your egg whites. Whip them until they become foamy. Gradually add the rest of your sugar while continuing to whip. Egg whites need to be at a soft peak stage.

  10. Scoop your marscapone into a piping bag with a nice tip of your choosing. 
  11. Lay down the bottom layer of you lady fingers. 
  12. Pipe the mixture into a circle on your bottom lady fingers, but leave a small space before the edge so when you place the next lady finger on it won't ooze over. 
  13. Do a quick dusting of cocoa powder on each tiramisu. 
  14. Place the next lady finger on top. And do the same thing with the piping. 
  15. Do another dusting of cocoa powder.
  16. Do one more layer so that you have a total of three layers of each component. 
  17. Place the finished tiramisu in the fridge, so that marscapone sets completely. 
  18. Serve anytime after that. Enjoy!
