Making Tuesday Tasty-Tiramisu

Who doesn't love something a little decadent every now and then. Here is a nice Tiramisu recipe for you to enjoy. If you don't want to use rum, you could sub it with some rum extract, adding a bit at a time to taste.

Ingredients

*6 egg yolks

3 tablespoons sugar
1 pound mascarpone cheese
1 1/2 cups strong espresso, cooled
2 teaspoons dark rum
24 packaged ladyfingers
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate shavings, for garnish

Directions

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat egg yolks and 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 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 8 hours.


Before serving, sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
