How to Make Tiramisu Lift Me Up

  1. In a 2-quart saucepan, whisk together 4 large egg yolks and ½ cup granulated sugar until pale and thick.
  2. Gradually whisk in 2 cups whole milk until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. 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.
  4. Remove from heat, cover, and refrigerate until completely chilled.
  5. In a separate bowl, gently whisk together the chilled egg mixture, 16 ounces mascarpone cheese, and ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Set aside.
  6. In a chilled bowl, beat 2 cups heavy whipping cream with 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate.
  7. In a shallow dish, combine ½ cup strong brewed coffee, 2 tablespoons rum or brandy, and 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur.
  8. Quickly dip one side of each ladyfinger (savoiardi) into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy.
  9. Arrange a single layer of dipped ladyfingers in an ungreased 9x13 inch rectangular baking dish.
  10. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
  11. Spread half of the whipped cream over the mascarpone layer.
  12. Repeat layers with remaining ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and whipped cream.
  13. Dust generously with remaining cocoa powder and/or grated chocolate.
  14. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Optional: Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract when beating the eggs and sugar.
