Ingredients

6 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature*
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup good dark rum, divided
1 1/2 cups brewed espresso, divided
16 to 17 ounces mascarpone cheese
30 Italian ladyfingers, or savoiardi
Bittersweet chocolate, shaved or grated
Confectioners' sugar (optional)

Directions

Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on high speed for about 5 minutes, or until very thick and light yellow. Lower the speed to medium and add 1/4 cup rum, 1/4 cup espresso, and the mascarpone. Whisk until smooth.

Combine the remaining 1/4 cup rum and 1 1/4 cups espresso in a shallow bowl. Dip 1 side of each ladyfinger in the espresso/rum mixture and line the bottom of a 9 by 12 by 2-inch dish. Pour half the espresso cream mixture evenly on top. Dip 1 side of the remaining ladyfingers in the espresso/rum mixture and place them in a second layer in the dish. Pour the rest of the espresso cream over the top. Smooth the top and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.

Before serving, sprinkle the top with shaved chocolate and dust lightly with confectioners' sugar, if desired.

*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.

Notes: To make espresso for this recipe in your electric drip coffee maker, use enough water for 4 cups of coffee plus 1/3 cup of ground espresso.

You can find savoiardi and mascarpone in an Italian specialty store.

Did you know?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Did you know that the word Triamisu means "Pick me up!" In italian? I live in Las Vegas and I was speaking with man from the... Tillerman resturant who said his Italian friend's grandchildren where always saying, "Papi Tiramisu." So the man asked his friend what the children were saying. To which the friend replied, " Grandpa Pick me up." So if you ever see "Pick me up!" on a menu you can safley assume it is this fine dish. I Can't wait to try this version, thanks Contessa ^_^. -Blair Norris Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

It is so difficult to find a decent recipe for Tiramisu. You also can't find a dencent one in any resturant either. I plan... to serve this at my House Warming upon requests of the guests. I know it will be a winner with everyone. Thankyou for the recipe.Read more

Good recipe for tiramisu
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I am a big tiramisu fan, and this is actually the first time I have ever made it myself, and it was very good. Better than... most restaurants. Although I have had better tiramisu (sorry Ina) but this recipe for tiramisu is great. It is one of the best tiramisu that I have had. Thanks InaRead more

Just like Buca Di Beppo
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I fell in love with the Tiramisu at the Italian restaurant chain Buca Di Beppo. I loved the rum flavor...So when I saw the... reviews saying this had too much rum, I knew it was the right recipe for me. I LOVE this recipe. It's soooo easy and the results are so professional. If you don't like the rum flavor...just subsitute with more espresso. But I think the flavor of this recipe is absolute perfection! I would give it 10 stars if I could, LOL.Read more

Wow
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I love Ina and all her recepies are great! I am a true Tiramisu lover and this one is awsome! Except for the strong rum... flavor, I followed the recepie exactly and everything came out great. The flavor is nice but the rum is so over powering. Next time I will use less! Still yummy!!!Read more
