Tiramisu

Description


This tiramisu recipe shows you how to make the classic Italian layered dessert at home with rum-flavored, coffee-soaked ladyfingers, a creamy mascarpone custard, and whipped cream. The top of this tiramisu is dusted with cocoa powder for an impressive no-bake dessert.

Instructions

  • Whisk together egg yolks and sugar in a medium saucepan until well blended. Whisk in milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil.
  • Boil gently for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
  • Cover tightly and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Beat cream and vanilla in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  • Remove egg yolk mixture from the refrigerator; add mascarpone cheese and whisk until smooth.
  • Combine coffee and rum in a small bowl. Split ladyfingers in half lengthwise and drizzle with the coffee mixture.
  • Arrange 1/2 of the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 7x11-inch dish. Spread 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, then spread 1/2 of the whipped cream over top. Repeat layers once more. Sprinkle cocoa powder over top.
  • Cover and refrigerate until set, 4 to 6 hours.
