Tiramisu Italiano

Ingredients
7 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup sweet marsala, plus 2 tablespoons
8 ounces mascarpone, softened to room temperature
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup brewed espresso coffee
1 ounce dark chocolate
1/4 cup rum
1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
48 ladyfingers
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions
Cream together egg yolks and sugar in a heatproof bowl
set over a pot of simmering water. Add 1/3 cup of the marsala and continue to
whisk until mixture is thick and doubled in volume. This is basically a
zabaglione. Remove from heat. Stir in the mascarpone until completely blended.
In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Fold the whipped cream into
the mascarpone mixture, to lighten.

In a small saucepan, combine espresso, chocolate, rum, vanilla, and remaining 2
tablespoons marsala. Heat gently, and stir to dissolve the chocolate. Then, chill
the mixture to cool it down, about 15 minutes. Quickly dip each ladyfinger in the
chilled coffee mixture and arrange in a single layer on a 9 by 13-inch glass
baking pan. Do not soak the cookies or they will become too moist. Spread 1/2 the

mascarpone cream evenly with a spatula on top of the dipped ladyfingers. Repeat
with a second layer of dipped ladyfingers and remaining mascarpone cream. Sprinkle
top with cocoa powder. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
