Ingredients for Tiramisu

Method

Directions for Preparing Tiramisu

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee Mixture

    Brew the espresso and let it cool. Mix the cooled espresso with the rum in a shallow dish.

  2. 2

    Make the Mascarpone Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale and creamy. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until smooth.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tiramisu

    Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture for a couple of seconds, making sure not to soak them. Layer half of the dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  4. 4

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and drizzle with caramel and chocolate sauce.
