How to Make Tiramisu Italiano

  1. In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler), whisk together egg yolks and sugar until pale and thick (about 5-7 minutes). Do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup of the Marsala wine, continuing to whisk until the mixture is thick and has doubled in volume.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the mascarpone cheese until completely smooth and blended.
  4. In a separate chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until just combined.
  6. In a small saucepan, combine the espresso, chopped chocolate, rum (if using), and vanilla extract. Heat gently, stirring until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  7. Remove from heat and let cool completely (about 15 minutes). Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of Marsala wine.
  8. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso mixture, ensuring they are just moistened (not soggy). Arrange a single layer in the bottom of a 9x13 inch glass baking dish.
  9. Spread half of the mascarpone cream evenly over the ladyfingers.
  10. Repeat layers with the remaining dipped ladyfingers and mascarpone cream.
  11. Dust the top with cocoa powder or shaved chocolate.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.
  13. Serve chilled and enjoy!
