Tiramisu Recipe.

Ingredients:

6 large egg yolks
¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
2/3 cup (150ml) milk
1 ¼ cups (300ml) heavy cream
8 ounces (225g) mascarpone cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups (480ml) strong brewed coffee, cooled
2 tablespoons (30ml) coffee liqueur (such as Kahlua) (optional)
24-30 ladyfinger cookies
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Recipe Instructions:

In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined and creamy.
Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Cook the egg mixture, whisking constantly, for about 5 minutes or until it thickens and reaches a custard-like consistency.
Remove the bowl from heat and whisk in the milk. Let the mixture cool completely.
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
In another bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese until smooth and creamy. Fold in the cooled custard mixture and vanilla extract.
Gently fold in the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
In a shallow dish, combine the brewed coffee and coffee liqueur (if using).
Dip each ladyfinger cookie into the coffee mixture for a few seconds on each side, allowing them to soak up the liquid without becoming too soggy.
Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfinger cookies in the bottom of a rectangular or square dish.
Spread a layer of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers.
Repeat the layers, alternating soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cream, until you run out of ingredients. The top layer should be the mascarpone cream.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together and for the tiramisu to set.
Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve.
Slice and serve the tiramisu chilled. It is best enjoyed within a day or two of making.
