Ingredients

*6 egg yolks
3 tablespoons sugar
1 pound mascarpone cheese
1 1/2 cups strong espresso, cooled
2 teaspoons dark rum
24 packaged ladyfingers
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate shavings, for garnish

Directions

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Add mascarpone cheese and beat until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of espresso and mix until thoroughly combined.

In a small shallow dish, add remaining espresso and rum. Dip each ladyfinger into espresso for only 5 seconds. Letting the ladyfingers soak too long will cause them to fall apart. 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.

Spread evenly 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Arrange another layer of soaked ladyfingers and top with remaining mascarpone mixture.

Cover tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 8 hours.

Before serving, sprinkle with chocolate shavings.

Hands Down Best Recipe EVER!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was absolutely the easiest recipe I've ever had to follow. The result was amazing. Everyone that tried the tiramisu... LOVED it and asked for seconds! I substituted the rum for 1 table spoon Baileys (that's all I had handy). The cheese was so easy to find at the local grocery store, I had thought that I would have a hard time finding it. Read more

Excellent Recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I tried to make this recipe and the result was excellent. I follow all the measurements and the ingredients. First i was... hesitant to make it because of the raw egg yolks and im worried it is going to bother my stomach but it turns out to be great and a good reward at the end. It was easy to make and my husband really love it. I would definitely recommend this recipe! Read more

Two substitutions, and still came out great!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Had to substitute neuschfatel cheese for mascarpone, because was not available in store, and ginger snaps for lady fingers,... same reason. Still everyone loved it. Had to double the sugar though for the cream cheese. Read more

Measurements need to be adjusted!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

This recipe had some issues with the measurements. We spent about $25-$30 to make this cake but we were pretty disappointed.... Seems to be a popular problem with the recipe but the pan was WAY too big. There were not enough ladyfingers to make even ONE layer, much less two layers. The filling was WAY too runny and it was like eating soup. It did taste pretty good though, so if the measurements were adjusted and it was a little more solid, it would probably be a good recipe.Read more

Rated: 4 stars out of 5

First of all I can't believe how quick and easy this recipe was. But, my only complant at this point is that the eggs are not... cooked. Isn't that a little unsafe?Read more
