CHOCOLATE SAUCE

This recipe comes from the side of an Italian (I think) brand of
ladyfingers. I don't remember the brand, but the recipe is Matilde's
Tiramisu.
Beat egg whites until stiff white peaks. In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks
and sugar until creamy and lemon colored. Add marscapone cheese to egg yolk
mixture, beat until smooth. Then fold in the egg whites.
Soak the ladyfingers in the coffee, and make a layer of half of them.
Quickly dipping each ladyfinger in the coffee worked well) Cover layer of
ladyfingers with half the cheese. Repeat layer of ladyfingers and layer of
cheese.
Mix together about 2 tsp of cocoa with 2 tsp powdered sugar, and sift over
the top. Cover and refrigerate.
Marinos, an Italian restaurant in Cambridge, serves their tiramisu with a
chocolate sauce on the side, this is an approximation I made up.
Chocolate Sauce: In top of a double boiler, over boiling water, melt butter
and mix with cocoa powder. Once melted and smooth, mix in sugar, keep
stirring until smooth. Add milk, and keep stirring until creamy consistency
(for a while there it looks like individual bits of chocolate floating in
milk, but it does eventually combine.) At this point it's still quite
bitter, so add corn syrup, continue adding corn syrup until desired
sweetness. Let it cool and then stir in vanilla.
