Submitted by Lacy S.

"I saw Giada make this on a recent episode. I haven't made it yet but I can't wait..."

 

• Ready In: 2hrs 15mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 1 Tiramisu
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 6 egg yolks
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 lb mascarpone cheese
• 1 1⁄2 cups espresso, cooled
• 2 teaspoons dark rum
• 24 ladyfingers
• 1⁄2 cup chocolate shavings, for garnish

directions

1. In a large bowl beat egg yolks and sugar until thick, about 5 minutes.
2. Add mascarpone cheese and beat until smooth.
3. Add 1 tablespoon of espresso and mix until thoroughly combined.
4. In a small shallow dish, add remaining espresso and rum.
5. Dip each ladyfinger into espresso for only 5 seconds. Letting the ladyfingers soak too long will cause them to fall apart.
6. Place the soaked ladyfinger on the bottom of a 13 by 9 inch baking dish, breaking them in half if necessary in order to fit the bottom.
7. Spread evenly 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
8. Arrange another layer of soaked ladyfingers and top with remaining mascarpone mixture.
9. Cover tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 8 hours.
10. Before serving, sprinkle with chocolate shavings.

Giada's Tiramisu is the best there is, and it's the real thing - I do, however (on the advice of a friend from Naples) switch out the Rum for Frangelico Liquor (Hazlenut) :)

I did it 2 times. It was a real success. It was sweet enough for all of us. I wouldn't consider adding more sugar.

I love this dessert! I've made it twice, just for week night desserts! I actually eat it for a breakfast snack. I am going to make for company this Oct, doubling the recipe and using the Frangelico!

I made this for our Christmas dinner. I made a half recipe, used Frangelico and Kalua inplace of rum. It was lucious...thank you for the recipe!

Best tiramisu recipe I have ever tried. I have made it several times. I made it last week for my dad's birthday and was asked to make it again for a get together tonight. We are all Italian, by the way, so that's got to be a really great tiramisu!
