Classic Tiramisu Recipe

Ingredients

• 6 large egg yolks
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 0.67 cup milk
• 1.25 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pound mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
• 0.25 cup strong brewed coffee, at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons rum
• 2 (3 ounce) packages ladyfinger cookies
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

1. Prepare all of your ingredients.
2. In a saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until thoroughly combined.
3. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to gently boil.
4. Let it simmer gently for 1 minute, stirring continuously, then take it off the heat and let it cool slightly.
5. Cover the mixture tightly and refrigerate for 1 hour to chill completely.
6. In a bowl, beat the heavy cream and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
7. Take the chilled egg yolk mixture out of the refrigerator, add the mascarpone cheese, and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
8. In a small bowl, combine the coffee and rum. Split the ladyfingers in half lengthwise, then drizzle with the coffee mixture. Arrange half of the soaked ladyfingers on the bottom of a 7x11-inch dish.
9. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers, followed by half of the whipped cream. Repeat these layers once more to use all ingredients.
10. Generously sprinkle cocoa powder evenly over the top layer.
11. Cover the dish securely and refrigerate for at least 4 to 6 hours to allow the tiramisu to set completely.
12. Serve and enjoy this classic Italian dessert!
