Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 c heavy whipping cream
2 c powdered sugar
16 oz mascarpone cheese
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 c light rum
1 c black coffee
3 pkg lady fingers
4 Tbsp shaved chocolate for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Whip the cold cream until soft peaks form.
  • 2. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, 1 tsp rum, and mascarpone cheese.
  • 3. Whip until stiff peaks form.
  • 4. Pour the rest of the rum into a cup of black coffee that has been cooled slightly.
  • 5. Buy the small thin ladyfingers and open one package. Place the ladyfingers along the sides and bottom of a 9-inch springform pan (a 9x13 rectangle pan works just as well with ladyfingers on the bottom only).
  • 6. Brush the ladyfingers with the coffee mixture. The ones on the side should only have a small amount of coffee mixture brushed on.
  • 7. Now take your cream mixture and place 1/3 of the bowl over the ladyfingers and carefully smooth it around the first layer of the tiramisu.
  • 8. Add another layer of ladyfingers on top of the cream mixture. Brush it with rum.
  • 9. Now add another layer of cream mixture. Then add another layer of ladyfingers.
  • 10. Follow with the rest of the cream mixture. Sprinkle shaved chocolate on the top and refrigerate overnight.
  • 11. Unmold the pan and wrap a ribbon around it (optional) to make it look pretty.
