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.
* Raw Egg Warning
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.

The flavor was there but it was soupy and I ran out of the rum/coffee mixture for 1/2 of the top layer.

Easy, delicious, and everyone was impressed. I would have liked more marscapone mix, too. I used 'Nilla wafer cookies instead of lady fingers which i couldnt find (damn you, Walmart!, arranged in the pan and slowly poured really strong coffee over them being careful to not allow any more than the cookies could readily soak up. Also, used rum extract instead of rum. Be careful with that crap, its strong flavor neccessitated a rebrew of coffee before it tasted right. Grated a dark Dove bar over the top. Took about 25 minutes to prep, and a couple hours in the frig. Im just an old biker, but looked like a real pro today. Thx!!

ADD MORE SUGAR!!!
I didn't use the dark rum or the chocolates shavings and I used 8 eggs instead of 6, I don't know how much of a difference that made but I think I would have preferred my tiramisu with 2 more spoons of sugar.
Other than that, it was great.
