Tiramisu

YUUUMMMMMMM!!!! I love Tiramisu, it's a rich dessert but not too sweet and the coffee and rum flavors mixes perfectly well with the mascarpone cheese....


6 egg yolks
1 lb. mascarpone cheese
3 tbsp sugar
2 cups of cooled expresso
2 tbsp of rum
22 ladyfingers
Good quality dark chocolate shavings for garnish

I use a electric mixer with the whisk attachment but you can use a hand whisk if you prefer.
Whisk sugar and egg yolks till pale yellow and creamy , add mascarpone cheese and beat until smooth, add a tbsp of expresso and mix until combined.
mix the remaining coffee and rum and pour in a shallow dish, dip each ladyfinger quickly in the mixture not letting them soak too much(they will fall apart in your hands, and you don't want that), transfer 1/2 of them to the bottom of a 13x9 dish .
Pour 1/2 the mascarpone mixture on top and spread evenly. Arrange another layer of ladyfingers and spread the rest of the mascarpone mixture on top.
Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Sprinkle chocolate shavings on top before serving
