* 6 egg yolks
* 3 tablespoons sugar
* 1 lb mascarpone cheese
* 1 1/2 cups espresso, cooled
* 2 teaspoons dark rum (or better yet,Frangelica)
* 24 ladyfingers
* 1/2 cup chocolate shavings, for garnish
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.
