How to Make Tiramisu Lift Me Up
- In a 2-quart saucepan, whisk together 4 large egg yolks and ½ cup granulated sugar until pale and thick.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups whole milk until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Cook over low-medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat, cover, and refrigerate until completely chilled.
- In a separate bowl, gently whisk together the chilled egg mixture, 16 ounces mascarpone cheese, and ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Set aside.
- In a chilled bowl, beat 2 cups heavy whipping cream with 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate.
- In a shallow dish, combine ½ cup strong brewed coffee, 2 tablespoons rum or brandy, and 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur.
- Quickly dip one side of each ladyfinger (savoiardi) into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy.
- Arrange a single layer of dipped ladyfingers in an ungreased 9x13 inch rectangular baking dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
- Spread half of the whipped cream over the mascarpone layer.
- Repeat layers with remaining ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and whipped cream.
- Dust generously with remaining cocoa powder and/or grated chocolate.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Optional: Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract when beating the eggs and sugar.
