Ingredients
3/4 cup eggnog
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 egg yolks
24 ladyfinger biscuits
1 cup strong espresso or coffee
2 tablespoons dark rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Instructions
1. Brew 1 cup of strong espresso or coffee and let it cool. Stir in the dark rum and set aside.
2. In a heatproof bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar over simmering water until thick and pale (about 7–8 minutes). Remove and cool slightly.
3. In a separate bowl, beat mascarpone until smooth. Add eggnog and vanilla extract and combine well.
4. Whip heavy cream to soft peaks, then fold it gently into the mascarpone mixture.
5. Fold the cooled sabayon (egg yolk mixture) into the mascarpone cream until fully incorporated.
6. Quickly dip ladyfingers into the espresso-rum mixture and arrange in an 8×8-inch dish as a base layer.
7. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining cream.
8. Cover and chill the tiramisu for at least 6 hours or overnight.
9. Just before serving, dust generously with cocoa powder and slice to serve.
Notes
For best results, let the tiramisu chill overnight for maximum flavor fusion and texture.
Use high-quality eggnog for a creamy and rich filling.
Gently fold whipped cream to avoid deflating the airy texture.
