6:24 AM
Ingredients
Cream:
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1 large egg yolk
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
Syrup:
- ½ cup coffee
- 1½ ounces rum
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Cream & Assembly:
- 4 cup whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 24 ladyfingers
- Bittersweet chocolate, for grating
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
Method
- Whisk the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla in a metal bowl placed over a pot of gently simmering water until the mixture doubles in volume and holds a ribbon when the beaters are lifted. Remove this from the heat. In a clean bowl, and whisk in the mascarpone cheese until smooth. Whip the egg whites to medium peak. Fold the whites into the yolk mixture and set aside.
- For the syrup, heat the coffee, rum and sugar and stir just until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat.
- For the topping, whip the cream until it holds a soft peak and stir in the sugar and vanilla. Chill until ready to use.
- To assemble, dip the ladyfingers quickly into the coffee syrup and arrange 3 into each of 4 serving dishes. Spoon a generous layer of the mascarpone filling over the lady fingers and grate a little chocolate over top. Repeat with a second layer of ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone filling and grating of chocolate. Dollop the whipped cream over each tiramisu and dust with cocoa powder. Chill until ready to serve.
