From Heavenly Tiramisu. (I use this as a base for my tiramisu but add some secret ingredients and replace others!)
The company that makes this particular brand of cheese (Bel Gioioso, pronounced "bel-joy-oso" Cheese Inc. of Denmark, Wisconsin) put this recipe on the side of its 8-ounce Mascarpone container. They call it their "Famous 'Tiramisu' Dessert Recipe," but then again, I guess every cheese company, every restaurant has a "famous" recipe. This one makes 6 servings
Ingredients
* EGGS, 3 large, with yolks and whites separated
* SUGAR, 1/2 cup
* MASCARPONE, 8 ounces (225g)
* LADYFINGERS, 20
* Espresso or Strong Coffee, 1 cup
* Cognac or Brandy, 2 tablespoons
* COCOA, 1/8 cup
* Vanilla extract, 1 tsp or a pod of real vanilla
Directions
1. Combine 3 egg yolks, 1 tablespoon Espresso, sugar, and Cognac into the large mixing bowl.
2. Beat 2 to 3 minutes
3. Add Mascarpone, vanilla and beat 3 to 5 minutes until consistency is smooth
4. In another bowl, combine 3 egg whites and a pinch of sugar. Beat until mixture forms stiff peaks
5. Gently fold into Mascarpone mixture
6. Pour rest of Espresso into flat dish, dip one side of each Lady Finger, and layer on bottom of serving dish
7. Spread 1/3 of Mascarpone mixture and sprinkle with cocoa

Panettone
From the UK Thermomix recipe site.
This fruited bread is an Italian Christmas speciality. Making it yourself is very easy with your Thermomix and will cost you a fraction of the price of a bought panettone, and it will taste fresh and delicious. Lovely as a gift. Leftovers make a wonderful bread and butter pudding. Makes about a 1 kg loaf.
Ingredients
50 g granulated sugar
thinly peel skin of 1 organic lemon
400 g strong white bread flour, divided 50 g and 350 g
1½ tsp instant yeast or 15 g fresh yeast
1 tsp salt
100 g butter, diced in 1 cm pieces
250 g milk
3 egg yolks from large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
100 g diced candied peel
75 g raisins or sultanas
icing sugar to dust
Method
1. Weigh sugar and the 50 g flour into the TM bowl and add the lemon peelings. Zest the peel by grinding 30 seconds/Speed 10.
2. Add remaining flour and all other ingredients except icing sugar. Mix 30 seconds/37°C/ Speed 3.
3. Knead 1½ minutes/Dough Setting. Either leave to rise in TM bowl or in a buttered bowl until doubled in size.
4. Punch down and shape into a round. Place in a lined, 15 cm round, buttered, 10 cm deep cake tin. Leave to rise until it reaches 1 cm above the top of the tin. Bake 35 to 40 minutes at 180°C/350°F/gas 4. Aga ovens: Bake same timings in Baking Oven or bake 22 to 30 minutes on the rack set on the floor of the Roasting Oven with the cold plain shelf inserted 3 sets of runners above the top of the cake tin (to allow room for the rising loaf). Cool in the tin then turn out onto a wire rack. Dust with icing sugar to serve.
