Ingredients
Espresso Soak:
1 1/2 cups freshly brewed espresso
2 tablespoons dark rum or marsala
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Mascarpone Crema:
5 large egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups mascarpone
5 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
Tiramisù:
10 1/2 ounces ladyfingers or savoiardi
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Dark chocolate, for shaving, optional
Directions
- For the espresso soak: Mix together the espresso, rum and sugar in a small bowl. Let cool to room temperature.
- For the mascarpone crema: Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly, then whisk in the mascarpone until smooth.
- Whip the egg whites with the salt in a medium bowl to firm peaks. Gently fold into the mascarpone base.
- For the tiramisù: One at a time, dip about half of the ladyfingers quickly in the espresso soak and layer into a 9-inch square dish. Spread with half of the crema. Repeat with the remaining ladyfingers, espresso soak and crema.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to overnight. Dust with cocoa powder before serving and top with dark chocolate shavings if desired.
