Ingredients
Scale
- 6 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pound mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 2 tablespoons rum
- 2 (3 ounce) packages ladyfinger cookies
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until well blended. Whisk in milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Boil gently for 1 minute, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Cover tightly and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- In a medium bowl, beat cream with vanilla until stiff peaks form. Whisk mascarpone into the yolk mixture until smooth.
- In a small bowl, combine coffee and rum. Split ladyfingers in half lengthwise and drizzle with the coffee mixture.
- Arrange half of the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 7×11 inch dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, then half of the whipped cream over that. Repeat the layers and sprinkle with cocoa. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours, until set.
Notes
- For best results, allow the tiramisu to chill for at least 4 hours, but up to 6 hours is ideal.
- Adjust the amount of rum according to your personal preference.
- You can substitute the rum with a non-alcoholic coffee flavoring if preferred.
