Ingredients
480 ml (2 cups) mascarpone
800 ml (3 cups + 1/3 cup) ready-made Madagascan white vanilla custard – you’re looking for the white custard in tubs in the refrigerator section.
240 ml (1 cup) cold espresso of very strong coffee
5 tablespoons dark rum (see swaps)
44 (approx 300g/10.5oz) ladyfingers these are firm, sugar-coated sponge fingers
85 g (3 oz) dark milk chocolate, finely grated - I don’t go too dark as it can be too bitter. If you can find dark milk chocolate – which is about 50-60% cocoa, that’s perfect.
Instructions
1. Put your tiramisu dish to one side ready. I use a 23cm/9inch x 30cm/12inch dish. Approx 6cm/2.4 inches deep.
2. Whisk the mascarpone in a large bowl for 2 minutes, until softened.
3. Add in one quarter of the custard and whisk it in so it's incorporated with the mascarpone and free from lumps, then add the remaining custard and whisk until fully combined. Put to one side.
3. To medium-sized bowl, add the cold expresso and rum and mix together.
4. One at a time, briefly dip 22 of the ladyfingers in the coffee mixture. Just dip for a couple of seconds turning a couple of times but don’t soak, or they’ll fall apart. Add them to the bottom of the tiramisu dish in a single layer.
5. Spoon half of the custard mixture over the top and smooth out evenly.
6. Dip and layer the remaining 22 ladyfingers on top.
7. Spoon the remaining custard on top and smooth out evenly.
8. Sprinkle the finely grated chocolate on top.
9. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 5-6 hours (up to 24 hours). Then serve.
Notes
Swaps for dark rum Dark rum gives a lovely warming quality to the tiramisu. You can swap for Kalua (a coffee liqueur) if you like. Marsala wine (dry, not sweet) is also a popular choice. You can use any of these in the same quantity as the rum. If you don’t want alcohol in your tiramisu, leave it out entirely. The coffee will still give it a great flavour.
