Growing up in an Italian/Irish home my father was King on St. Patrick's Day. Our family would feast on corned beef, cabbage, and my grandmother's Irish soda bread, but there always seemed to be something missing: a sweet treat at the end of the rainbow! This Irish Coffee Tiramisu is the perfect marriage of my two cultures and it may just make you want to sing, bake, and jig though my Dad's favorite holiday - St. Patrick's Day.

8 oz Marscapone Cheese (or cream cheese)
3/4 Cup Heavy Cream
1/4 Cup plus 2 Tbsp Sugar
3 Tbsp Baileys Irish Cream
2 Tbsp Irish Whiskey
32 Lady Fingers
3 Tbsp Espresso Powder
1 1/2 Cups Warm Water
Cocoa for Sprinkling

In a small bowl, add Espresso Powder to Warm Water and Whiskey and mix. Set Aside. In a second bowl, or in your mixer, place the marscapone (or cream cheese), the heavy cream, the Baileys, and the sugar and mix together until incorporated and the mixture gets thick and creamy. Place 1/3 of the cream on the bottom of a your serving dish. Then dip the lady fingers in the espresso and place neatly in a row on the cream. Continue to the next layer of cream and do the same with the lady fingers ending with cream on top. Sprinkle some cocoa powder on top and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours. Serve cold.
