Ingredients

  • 3 large egg yolks
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • tablespoons plus 1 tablespoon sweet marsala wine
  • 4 ounces mascarpone (at room temperature)
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup hot brewed espresso coffee
  • ½ ounce semisweet chocolate or dark chocolate (finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons rum
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 21 Savoiardi (Italian ladyfinger)
  • 2 - 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

  • In a large pot with 1-inch water, bring to a boil and reduce to simmer.
  • In a large heatproof bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar together with a whisk for 2 minutes. Add 2½ tablespoons marsala. Place the bowl over the simmering water. Whisk until the mixture is thick and doubled in volume, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the mascarpone until blended.
  • In another large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until combined.
  • In a medium bowl, add the hot espresso and chocolate, stir to melt the chocolate. Add the rum, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon marsala. Stir again to combined. Let it cool for 15 minutes.
  • Prepare a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan. Dip and roll each Savoiardi into the cooled coffee mixture for 5 seconds. Place 7 of them in a single layer in the loaf pan. Spread about 1/3 the mascarpone cream evenly over the dipped Savoiardi. Smooth the top with a spatula. Repeat 2 more times with the dipped Savoiardi and the mascarpone cream. Cover the pan with aluminum foil. Refrigerate for 24 hours. Sprinkle cocoa powder on top of the Tiramisu before serving.

Notes

  1. Savoiardi is a hard and crispy Italian biscuit. They hold well in the coffee mixture. The soft ladyfingers that you can find in some supermarkets will probably be too soft for this recipe.
  2. Use any container you like. I made mine with 3 layers, but traditional Tiramisu is usually with only 2 layers.
  3. I highly recommend waiting for 24 hours before serving. The Savoiardi are softer and everything tastes better. But if you really can’t wait, 8 hours will do it.
  4. This tiramisu contains egg. If you don’t want egg, you can try this recipe.
