Tiramisu - Giada De Laurentiis

Tiramisu - Giada De Laurentiis

Time: 2 hrs 15 mins

Ingredients

• 6 egg yolks
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 lb mascarpone cheese
• 1 1/2 cups espresso, cooled
• 2 teaspoons dark rum
• 24 ladyfingers
• 1/2 cup chocolate shavings, for garnish

Directions

• 1 In a large bowl beat egg yolks and sugar until thick, about 5 minutes.
• 2 Add mascarpone cheese and beat until smooth.
• 3 Add 1 tablespoon of espresso and mix until thoroughly combined.
• 4 In a small shallow dish, add remaining espresso and rum.
• 5 Dip each ladyfinger into espresso for only 5 seconds. Letting the ladyfingers soak too long will cause them to fall apart.
• 6 Place the soaked ladyfinger on the bottom of a 13 by 9 inch baking dish, breaking them in half if necessary in order to fit the bottom.
• 7 Spread evenly 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
• 8 Arrange another layer of soaked ladyfingers and top with remaining mascarpone mixture.
• 9 Cover tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 8 hours.
• 10 Before serving, sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
