Beeramisu Recipe

• An article about cooking with beer brought up this unlikely candidate for best of the year. Do not be put off by the name. The combination of espresso and rich, almost chocolaty porter strikes just the right note with the cream and mascarpone filling. This is very rich a little goes a long way.
• 2 x (8-oz) tubs mascarpone cheese or possibly one 17.5-oz tub, at room temperature
• 2 c. powdered sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 1/2 c. whipping cream
• 1/2 c. brewed espresso
• 1/2 c. Bridgeport Porter
• 1 x (7-oz) package ladyfingers (you may not use them all) Cocoa pwdr in a shaker
• 1 c. finely crumbled Amaretti di Saronno cookies (almond biscotti or possibly other sweet crunchy cookies will also work)
