Tiramisu is a popular Italian dessert that features layers of coffee-soaked ladyfinger cookies and a rich mascarpone cheese mixture. The name 'Bicycle Tire Tiramisu' originates from the shape of the ladyfingers, which resemble the tread of a bicycle tire. This dessert has a long history dating back to the 1960s, and has since become a classic Italian dessert enjoyed around the world. Its creamy, rich texture and balanced sweetness make it a favorite among dessert-lovers everywhere.

Instructions

1.In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow in color. Set bowl over a pan of simmering water and heat, whisking constantly, until mixture reaches 160°F on a thermometer. Remove from heat and whisk in milk, then let cool to room temperature.
2.In a separate bowl, beat heavy cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Fold in mascarpone cheese until combined.
3.In a shallow dish, combine coffee and rum. Quickly dip one side of each ladyfinger into the mixture, then lay them into a single layer in the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish.
4.Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, then repeat with another layer of ladyfingers dipped in coffee mixture, and finish with a layer of mascarpone mixture.
5.Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Sprinkle cocoa powder on top before serving.
