Tiramisu
Tiramisu
Tiramisu is a delicious Italian dessert made with layers of ladyfingers soaked in coffee and rum, then layered with a creamy mixture of mascarpone cheese, eggs, and sugar. Some variations even include a sprinkle of cocoa powder on top.
Ingredients
- 6 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee cooled
- 2 tablespoons rum optional
- 24 ladyfingers
- Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined and the mixture becomes pale yellow.
- In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
- Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream until well combined.
- Gradually fold the cooled egg yolk mixture into the mascarpone and whipped cream mixture until smooth and creamy.
- In a shallow dish, combine the coffee and rum (if using). Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, soaking it for a few seconds on each side.
- Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a rectangular dish or individual serving glasses.
- Spread a layer of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
- Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of the mascarpone mixture on top.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Just before serving, dust the top with a generous amount of cocoa powder.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
