Chocolate Tiramisu Recipe

My husband and I recently cruised the Mexican Riviera and on the cruise the served us this incredible dessert so I had to share!

Ingredients

• 6 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup good dark rum, divided
• 1 1/2 cups espresso
• 16 to 17 ounces mascarpone cheese (find this at Italian specialty stores or at Trader Joe’s)
• 30 Italian ladyfingers
• semisweet chocolate grated

Preparation

Whisk the eggs and sugar in a bowl for about 5 minutes, or until very thick and light yellow. Add 1/4 cup rum, 1/4 cup espresso, and the mascarpone. Whisk until smooth.

Combine the remaining 1/4 cup rum and 1 1/4 cups espresso in a shallow bowl. Dip 1 side of each ladyfinger in the espresso/rum mixture and line the bottom of a 9 x12  dish. Pour half the espresso cream mixture evenly on top. Dip 1 side of the remaining ladyfingers in the espresso/rum mixture and place them in a second layer in the dish. Pour the rest of the espresso cream over the top. Smooth the top and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.

Right before serving, add grated chocolate and if desired, a cocoa powder for looks!
