Instructions
 

Make the Custard:

  • Fill a medium saucepan with water, about 1.5 inch high. Bring the water to a boil, then turn heat down and allow the water to gently simmer.
  • Place a small metal bowl on top of the pot (don't let it touch the water), and whisk the egg yolks and half of the caster sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl of an electric mixer, whisk together the heavy cream and the rest of the sugar until fluffy and soft peaks form. Mix in the mascarpone cheese and continue to mix until combined.
  • Pour the egg/sugar mixture into the mascarpone mixture and fold until well-combined.

Assemble the Tiramisu:

  • In a wide and shallow bowl, mix together the espresso, vanilla extract, and amaretto. Set aside.
  • Sift half of the cocoa powder unto the bottom of an 8x8 square baking dish, making sure to cover the entire pan.
  • Dip a ladyfinger cookie into the espresso/amaretto mixture and place it on the corner of the baking dish. You can also brush the espresso/amaretto mixture unto the ladyfinger if the cookie is too soft and breaks apart when dipped. Repeat until the entire bottom of the baking dish is covered with espresso-infused ladyfingers.
  • Spreadhalf of the custard mixture on top of the ladyfinger layer. Add another layer of espresso-infused ladyfingers, then top with another custard mixture.
  • Sift the rest of the cocoa powder on the top of the tiramisu.
  • Cover the baking dish, and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight. When ready to serve,slice into 9 squares and eat immediately. ENJOY!
