Tiramisu

 

This recipe is one that I hold very near and dear to my heart. I came up with this recipe about 7 years ago. It is one of the first recipes that I came up with all on my own and now I have the pleasure of sharing it with all of you. This is definitely a crowd pleaser I used to make it for the restaurant that I currently serve at and I get this requested by my family all the time.
 

 

Lets get started!

 

 

Here is everything you will need except the chocolate( because I forgot to put it in the picture) one of these days I might remember everything!

 

In a stand mixer beat egg yolks and sugar together until thick and pale yellow,

 



 

Mix in mascarpone and 1 tablespoon of the dark rum.

 

 

 Transfer to a bowl.

 

 

 In the stand mixer bowl pour in heavy whipping cream and mix on medium speed until it begins to thicken then add powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and 1 tablespoon of the dark rum.  Turn speed to high until you get stiff peaks. Be careful not to beat the cream for too long or you will end up with butter.

 

Just a little bit of quality control!

 



 

 This next step in not necessary but I find that it helps keep some body to the whip cream without deflating it, I take a small amount of the whip cream and whisk it into the marscarpone mixture. Then gently fold the mascarpone egg mixture into the whip cream.

 

 

Pour the espresso and remaining rum into a wide shallow bowl.

 

 

Slice the pound cake into 1 inch slices.

 

 

Take a small amount of the tiramisu cream and spread it out into a layer in the bottom of a trifle dish.

 

 

Dip the pound cake slices into the espresso and rum. Layer them in a trifle dish and spread a layer of the tiramisu cream and repeat ending with a tiramisu cream layer on top.

 

 

Top with shaved chocolate and refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving.

 

 

Now share it with people you love!
