Ingredients
- 16 ounces mascarpone
- 6 large egg yolks
- 30 lady finger biscuits
- 3.4 ounces sugar 1/2 cup
- 12 ounces strong coffee or espresso
- 1/4 cup Kahlua or coffee liqueur
- 2 ounces dark chocolate chopped
- 2 ounces cocoa powder 1/4 cup
Instructions
- Make coffee or espresso and allow to cool. Stir in coffee liqueur.
- Heat dark chocolate in a microwave safe dish on 30 second intervals until melted. Allow to cool.
- Whip egg yolks and sugar in a medium bowl until well blended. Bring a saucepan of water to a simmer and place bowl with egg yolks and sugar over saucepan. Water should just barely touch the bottom of the bowl.
- Whip constantly, until egg yolk mixture reaches a temperature of 160 F. using a thermometer. Remove from heat and continue whisking another minute or two to cool egg yolks mixture. It should fall in thick ribbons when mixture is picked up with whisk.
- Beat mascarpone until light, about 2 minutes.
- Fold melted chocolate into egg yolks and sugar, then fold in mascarpone.
- Dip each lady finger biscuit briefly into coffee. Don't soak them. Just 3 seconds on each side.
- Lay the lady fingers on the bottom of an 8" or 9" springform pan, cutting biscuits to fit the curves of the pan.
- Spread half of the chocolate mascarpone mixture over the biscuits, then repeat with the remaining biscuits and mascarpone.
- Cover the top of the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours.
- Just before serving, dust top of tiramisu with cocoa powder and chocolate shavings.
