Answers:
Yes these ingredients are correct!.!.!.and this girl was schooled in my Italian/Slovakian grandma's kitchen so i know for sure!!! Unless you are pregnant or have been told to stay away from raw products then the eggs are nothing to worry about!. Just make sure they are fresh!. The eggs are cut in with the cheese so once you get everything in a bowl you'll see why you'll need 6 eggs!. Thats a lot of mascarpone and all those eggs will bind it together!.
Now i'm hungry for tiramisu!! Thanks a lot! All your fault! hahahWww@FoodAQ@Com

Tiramisu basically includes Mascarpone cheese, raw eggs, sugar, espresso coffee, ladyfingers, liquor and cocoa!. Heavy cream is an optional ingredient!. The richness and "mouth experience" depends on the quantity of each ingredient, and the care of preparation!. This recipe section includes a number of basic recipes, as gleaned from various sources, which are cited whenever possible!.

6 eggs, separated
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 pound mascarpone cheese
2 tablespoons brandy
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups strong brewed coffee, room temperature
30 ladyfinger cookies
8 ounces finely chopped bittersweet chocolate
In large mixing bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar with electric mixer until light yellow, 1 minute!. Beat in mascarpone, brandy and vanilla until smooth!. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff, but not dry!. Fold egg whites into mascarpone mixture!.
Quickly dip ladyfingers, one at a time, in cooled coffee and arrange them in a 9x13 inch baking dish!. Use 15 cookies to cover the bottom of the dish!. Spread half the mascarpone mixture over the cookie crust and sprinkle the chocolate on top!. Repeat the soaked cookie and cheese layers!.

yes that's correct but you can cut back the eggs if you like!. It's a very rich dish that's why there are a lot of eggs!.
also you don't want the soft lady fingers, you want the hard ones (they are actually more like cookies or biscotti)!. The soft ones turn to mush if you try to use them, but the hard ones will soak up the liquid and be just right!.
If you can't find the hard lady fingers then buy the soft ones and leave them out on the counter unwrapped to get stale!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sounds correct seeing as though tiramisu is sort of custard likeWww@FoodAQ@Com
I have heard (from my grandmother) to use the egg yolks and not the whites but other than that it sounds right!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
