Indulgent Italian tiramisu: creamy mascarpone, espresso-soaked ladyfingers, cocoa, and a hint of rum. A dreamy dessert for any occasion.
Ingredients:
  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 lb mascarpone cheese or 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups whipping (heavy) cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup brewed espresso or very strong coffee, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons rum
  • 2 packages (3 oz each) ladyfingers
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking cocoa
Instructions:
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until well combined. Stir in milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until boiling. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and transfer to a medium bowl. Cover the surface of the custard mixture with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
  • Blend the cheese into the custard mixture until smooth using an electric mixer on medium speed; then, set aside.
  • Whip the cold whipping cream and vanilla in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. In a separate small bowl, combine espresso and rum.
  • Gently split ladyfingers in half and brush with espresso mixture without soaking. Place half of the ladyfingers in a single layer in an ungreased 11x7-inch glass baking dish. Layer half of the cheese mixture and half of the whipped cream over the ladyfingers. Repeat with remaining ladyfingers, cheese mixture, and whipped cream. Dust the top with cocoa powder. Chill for 4 to 6 hours (up to 24 hours) to enhance flavors. Keep refrigerated, covered, until serving.
