Ingredients:
- 6 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 2 tablespoons rum (optional)
- 24 ladyfingers
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined and slightly thickened.
- In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
- Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture while continuously whisking.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the mascarpone cheese into the cooled egg yolk mixture, then fold in the whipped cream until well combined.
- In a shallow dish, combine the brewed coffee and rum.
- Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side. Place them in a single layer in a rectangular serving dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers.
- Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining cream mixture.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder.
