Tiramisu

•

Ingredients

• 6 egg yolks
• 5 tablespoons sugar
• 1 pound mascarpone cheese
• 1 1/2 cups strong espresso , cooled
• 2 teaspoons dark rum
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 24 packaged ladyfingers
• 1/2 cup chocolate powder, for garnish

Direction:

•

• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat egg yolks and 3 tablespoons of sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Add mascarpone cheese and beat until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of espresso and mix until thoroughly combined.
• In a small shallow dish, add remaining espresso, 2 table spoons of sugar and rum. Dip each ladyfinger into espresso for only 5 seconds. Letting the ladyfingers soak too long will cause them to fall apart. Place the soaked ladyfinger on the bottom of a 13 by 9 inch baking dish, breaking them in half if necessary in order to fit the bottom.
• Spread evenly 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Arrange another layer of soaked ladyfingers and top with remaining mascarpone mixture.
• Cover tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours for best results.
• Before serving, sprinkle with chocolate powder.
