Tiramisu

From Bon Appetit
Serves 8

 8 ounces (250gr) chocolate semi-sweet - cold - grated
 4 egg yolks 
 1 cup (250ml) sugar 
 1 1/2 teaspoons (7ml) vanilla 
 8 ounces (250gr) cream cheese  room temperature
 1 3/4 cups (450ml) cream  35%
 1 tablespoon (15ml) espresso coffee  instant
 1 cup (250ml) hot water 
 1 12 ounces (375gr) pound cake frozen or crisp lady finger cookies

Set aside the grated chocolate.  Mix the egg yolks and the sugar.  Add the
vanilla and beat for approx. 1 minute.  Add the cheese one tablespoon at a time
and mix until you get a smooth texture. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.  Prepare
whip cream and add to the cheese mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour.  The above
steps can be done 2 days ahead.  Mix the instant coffee and hot water. Let rest
until it is at room temperature.  Cut the cake in stick like pieces to imitate
the lady finger cookies (or use the real crisp lady finger cookies).  Drop cake
pieces or cookies into coffee mixture and cover the bottom of a glass bowl. 
Sprinkle half of the grated chocolate then the cream/cheese mixture.  Cover with
the remaining cookies or cake pieces and add the rest of the grated chocolate. 
Cover and refrigerate at least for 2 hours.
