Ghetto Tiramisu is a low-cost, easy-to-make dessert recipe that is perfect for a crowd. This recipe is a twist on the classic tiramisu recipe, using everyday ingredients that can be found at most grocery stores. The recipe calls for the use of mascarpone cheese, which is a rich and creamy Italian cheese that can be found in most grocery stores. The cheese is combined with egg yolks and sugar to create a delicious filling that is layered between coffee-dipped vanilla wafers. The final layer of the recipe is a sprinkling of grated chocolate and cocoa powder, which adds just the right amount of sweetness to this decadent dessert.

Instructions

1.	Beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
2.	Beat together egg yolks and sugar until light yellow and fluffy.
3.	Add mascarpone cheese to the egg yolk mixture, and mix until well combined.
4.	Gently fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture.
5.	In a shallow dish, mix together the triple sec and espresso or coffee.
6.	Dip the vanilla wafers into the coffee mixture, and layer them on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
7.	Spread 1/2 of the cheese mixture over the layer of wafers.
8.	Repeat with another layer of coffee-dipped wafers, followed by the remaining half of the cheese mixture.
9.	Sprinkle the grated chocolate and cocoa powder on top of the final layer of cheese.
10.	Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
