Servings
4
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup instant espreso
- 2 tablespoon dark rum
- 1 pound mascarpone cheese
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoon dark rum
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1/3 chocolate biscotti, crumbled
Directions
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees and grease a large cookie sheet pan lightly with butter.
- Sift the sugar and the flour, but keep them separate.
- Next, whip the sugar and the eggs together for 15 minutes on high speed with a mixer until they become fairly thick and frothy.
- Lower the speed on the mixer and gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs and sugar.
- Immediately spoon the batter onto the cookie tray, forming 3 circles approximately 6 inches in diameter. There may be some batter leftover.
- Bake in the oven until they become golden brown, approximately 10 –12 minutes.
- Transfer to a cooling rack and cool to room temperature (these are best done the day before assembly). Store in a sealed container at room temperature.
- Make the instant espresso and cool completely. Add the 2 tablespoons of rum to the espresso and set aside; this will be your espresso marinade.
- Mix the mascarpone with the powdered sugar and the 3 tablespoons of dark rum until the ingredients are completely incorporated.
- Using a round bowl 6-7 inches in diameter and 1 ½ to 2 inches deep (trim the ladyfingers as necessary to fit the bowl.)
- Soak a ladyfinger in the espresso marinade for 3 seconds then place it in the bowl. Top the ladyfinger by spreading about 1/3 of the mascarpone cheese mix over the top.
- Repeat 2 more times so there are 3 soaked ladyfingers with 3 layers of the mascarpone cheese. The last layer should be the cheese.
- Tightly wrap in plastic and store in the refrigerator overnight.
- Leave the tiramisu in the refrigerator until it needs to be served.
- Unwrap the tiramisu and cover it with the cocoa powder and biscotti.
