Tiramisu - Italian Coffee Trifle
I make this Tiramisu a few times every year for my friends and family, because every time after they tasted it, they just kept asking me to make it again. LOL!

Cook gently in a double boiler or in a stainless steel or glass bowl set over a pot of simmering water.
Cook gently, stirring constantly, until thickened.

Whip cream until light.
Gently fold into cheese mixture.

Combine coffee with brandy.
Reserve.
Line an 8-inch baking dish or trifle bowl with ladyfingers.
(Do not worry if ladyfingers do not fit exactly, break up extras and fit into spaces.)
Drizzle with half of the coffee mixture.
Spread half the filling over.
Sprinkle with half the chocolate.
Repeat layers starting with ladyfingers, drizzling with remaining coffee, spreading remaining filling over ladyfingers and topping with chocolate.
Refrigerate a few hours or overnight before serving.
