Ingredients
16
oz
mascarpone cheese
½
tbs
rum – optional
1/2
cup
of sugar
3
large eggs
yolks and whites separated
2
cup
espresso coffee
cooled (or 2 cups regular coffee + 1-2 tsp instant espresso), in a shallow bowl
2
packs of ladyfingers
4.75 oz each pack
1-2
tbs
cacao powder
1-2
tbs
chocolate shavings
Instructions
In a medium size bowl beat the egg yolks until foamy, add the sugar and the rum.
In another bowl beat the egg whites until they become fluffy and stiff
Use a spoon to add the mascarpone cheese to the egg whites, fold the mascarpone in gently.
Gently stir in the egg yolk and sugar mix.
Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee – it should be a fairly quick dip that moistens the cookie without getting it soggy.
Place the coffee dipped ladyfingers in a square serving dish until you have a full layer of cookies.
Cover the coffee dipped ladyfingers with the mascarpone mixture cream and top with another layer of coffee dipped ladyfingers.
Finish with a final layer of mascarpone mixture.
Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 6 hours – overnight is ideal.
Sprinkle the cacao powder on top and add the chocolate shavings before serving.
