Yes, the filling should be a lovely pale yellow, and NO, no one should get sick AT ALL if you are using a wholesome, healthy egg. I only use organic. <br/><br/>Anonymous: Where have you found good tiramisu in Little Italy?<br/><br/>Singapore: unless you consume the entire tiramisu, worry not about flying around for days!

And delving into tiramisu, with its odd mixture of spongy and gelatinous layers, is like being on an archelogic dig in “luogo a misura d'uomo.” (Uh, you know, “a place made for people,” or as the citizens of the old world call it, Siena…which I’ve been to, like, a hundred thousand times…) Most of the time in restaurants, I don’t bother with the dessert menu, but then of course, because the stomach always has room for a new flavor, even when it’s stuffed like a bulging Thanksgiving turkey, I often ask at the end of a meal: “do you have tiramisu?” And then I listen for the answer. If I hear something like, “oh yeah, we have that”—in other words, when I get the impression that the tiramisu gets delivered to the place from Amazon.com or the like—I pass. But, if they say, “we do, and we make it ourselves,” well, then I have to give it a try (of course, knowing too well that good tiramisu ain’t always easy to find). On the other hand, it’s not too hard if you happen to be in the vicinity of Mayfield and Murray Hill…Anyway, mangia bene, vivi felice… or something like that… What I love about tiramisu, in addition to the spelling, is that everyone knows that the French wish they invented it, but in fact, they were spending so much time trying to create actually palatable, heart attack-inducing desserts—mousse au chocolat et crème brûlée—to go with some of their heart attack inducing (and disgusting) entrês, that the Italians, thank Dio, could take their time to dream up something ethereal.

So I just finished making this recipe and I had a couple of questions. Is the mascarpone filling supposed to be pale yellow? I went with the 10 yolks, I hope its not too much. I always thought the filling should be white. Also, do you think any of my guests will get a stomach ache from this many yolks? I didn't make any other dessert so I have nothing to fall back on. It turned out great as far as how it looks, and I did taste a bit of the mascarpone filling and it tastes good, not egg-y at all, but I was just wondering. Thanks for all your hard work with the recipes and pics!<br/>Dalia Hello! So I just finished making this recipe and I had a couple of questions. Is the mascarpone filling supposed to be pale yellow?
