A boozy, coffee-soaked dessert awaits you with this tiramisu
With its boozy, coffee-soaked ladyfingers and sweet, creamy filling, it's no wonder tiramisu is Italian for “pick me up.”
Instead of making a custard filling, we simply whipped egg yolks, sugar, salt, rum and mascarpone together and lightened it with whipped cream. We briefly moistened the ladyfingers in a mixture of coffee, espresso powder, and more rum.
We prefer a tiramisu with a pronounced rum flavor; for a less potent rum flavor, reduce the amount of rum in the coffee mixture. Brandy or whiskey can be substituted for the rum.
Don't let the mascarpone warm to room temperature before whipping. Dried ladyfingers are also called savoiardi; you will need between 42 and 60, depending on their size and the brand.
