Photo: Rum Raisin Tiramisu Recipe
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 1 cup Mount Gay dark rum, divided, plus 2 tablespoons
- 6 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 16 to 18 ounces Italian mascarpone cheese
- 3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, divided (2 oranges)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons good vanilla extract
- Seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean
- 24 to 30 Italian ladyfingers, or savoiardi
- Semisweet chocolate, shaved
Directions
Place the raisins and 2 tablespoons of rum in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the microwave on high for 1 minute. Uncover and set aside to cool.
Beat the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on high speed for 5 minutes, until very thick and light yellow. Lower the speed to low and mix in the mascarpone until smooth. With the mixer still on low, add 1/2 cup of rum, 1/4 cup of orange juice, the vanilla extract, and the seeds from the vanilla bean. Stir until combined.
Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of rum and remaining 1/2 cup of orange juice in a shallow bowl. Dip one side of each ladyfinger quickly in the rum mixture and place them in one layer in a 9 by 11 by 2-inch rectangular or oval dish. Break the ladyfingers in smaller pieces and dip them in the rum mixture to fill the spaces. Sprinkle half the rum-soaked raisins evenly on top. Pour half the mascarpone mixture over and spread evenly. Repeat the layers of dipped ladyfingers, rum-soaked raisins, and mascarpone mixture. Smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, but preferably overnight.
Before serving, sprinkle the top with the shaved chocolate and serve cold.

This recipe was Horrible! The rum in the recipe is entirely too strong! It's like pouring straight rum into your mouth. My husband thought the same. I had to throw the entire thing out. I cook alot of Desserts, and this has got to be the grossest recipe I've ever had! And because of it, I will never try making anything with rum again. Especially not Tirimisu.

I made this last night and it was amazing. I used 1/2 the alcohol in the recipe and it was great. Yes, you have to buy the hard ladyfingers which I bought from Giant. The only negative was that when I soaked the raisins in rum and microwaved it for a minute, they were hard as a rock. So, next time I will soak them in rum and just leave it out for the rum to soak through. Regardless of this though, it was a huge hit. Will definitely be keeping this one!

Everything was perfect, suddenly the creamy mix became such as machinegirl mentioned. I can't tell what happened. I'm decided to try it again tomorrow. Tonight I am so sad. Can someone help me plis.
My egg yolks were in the freeze, I wait until they chill... But mix was perfect after mascarpone. I stoped the electric mixer before the rum. Mascarpone was around the bowl so I though it needed to be pulled down manually. Probaly some of this could help to helping me.
