Here's a recipe for Tiramisu I got off this newsgroup a while back.  Enjoy.
 
from Balducci's in New York City
 
24 ladyfingers, toasted in a 375-degree oven for 15 minutes
2 cups espresso coffee, cooled
6 eggs, separated
3 to 6 tablespoons sugar, to taste
1 pound mascarpone
2 tablespoons Marsala wine
2 tablespoons Triple Sec
2 tablespoons brandy
2 tablespoons orange extract
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
 
Arrange the ladyfingers on a plate and lightly soak them with the
cooled espresso.  Put half of the soaked ladyfingers in one layer
in a rectangular serving dish.  While the ladyfingers are soaking,
beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the yolks turn pale in
color.  Add the mascarpone, the liquors, and the extract, and stir
gently.
 
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a wire whisk until
they are stiff.  Gently fold the whites into the mascarpone
mixture.  
 
Use half of this mixture to make a layer on top of the ladyfingers
in the serving dish.  Sprinkle with half of the chopped chocolate. 
Repeat the procedure with another layer of soaked ladyfingers, the
mascarpone mixture, and chocolate.  Cover with tin foil and
refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
