Tiramisu is an evergreen dessert, impressive in its simplicity and mix of flavors that boost each other! Coffee and mascarpone are the two main ingredients and they truly shine!
Mix the egg yolks with the sugar. Add the milk and mix well.
Place on low heat and cook until the mixture reaches 82C. Strain through a fine sieve and cool down completely.
Mix with the mascarpone cheese.
Add the vanilla and mix well, then fold in the heavy cream.
Mix the coffee with the Amaretto.
Line a 18-cm cake ring with an acetate strip. To assemble the cake, begin layering the ladyfingers, soaked in coffee syrup, with the mascarpone cream (1/3 of cream on each layer).
Continue with another layer of ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, ladyfingers again and finally then last third of mascarpone cream.
Keep in the fridge for minimum of 8 hours.
Remove the cake ring and decorate as you wish - a chocolate strip and cocoa powder were my choices. Enjoy!
