Tiramisu!

This was my first time making Tiramisu and it was so good! I planned on taking a picture of a piece cut out but it was gone within a few minutes!
I used a pyrex dish, I think size 7x11. A trifle bowl would look even fancier!


6 egg yolks

3/4 cup white sugar

2/3 cup milk

1 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

2 table spoons white sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 pound mascarpone

1/2 cup espresso or strong brewed coffee

1/4 cup rum ( I used the clear Bacardi)

1 package of lady fingers (I bought mine at Sprouts)

1/2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder or if your really fancy you can do chocolate peels



In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and 3/4 cup sugar until well blended. Whisk in milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Boil gently for 1 minute, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Cover tightly and chill in refrigerator 1 hour.

In a medium bowl, beat cream, 2 tablespoons of sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Whisk mascarpone into yolk mixture until smooth. Then fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture.

In a small bowl, combine coffee and rum. Split ladyfingers in half lengthwise and dip lady fingers into espresso mixture just to get wet.

Arrange half of soaked ladyfingers in bottom of a dish. Spread half of the cream mixture over lady fingers evenly Repeat layer and sprinkle with cocoa.

Cover and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours, until set.
