Tiramisu is a well-known Italian dessert that originated in the 1960s. It is believed to have been invented by a chef in Treviso, a city in the Veneto region of Italy. The name 'Tiramisu' means 'pick me up' in Italian, as it is thought to have been created as a booster for waitresses working long hours. Heavenly Tiramisu is the original version of this classic dessert, made with layers of mascarpone cheese, strong coffee, and French-style ladyfinger cookies. The result is a velvety, dreamy texture that melts in your mouth, with a distinct coffee flavor and a hint of rum. It is the perfect dessert to serve at the end of any meal, or to celebrate special occasions.

Instructions

1.Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a bowl and mix well.
2.Add milk to a saucepan and heat over medium heat until you see steam rising from the surface. Do not let it boil.
3.Pour the heated milk over the egg mixture, whisking continuously.
4.Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil.
5.In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Add the mascarpone cheese and whisk until combined.
6.In a separate bowl, mix the coffee and rum together.
7.Dip the ladyfinger cookies in the coffee mixture and layer them in the bottom of an 8x8 inch dish. Pour half of the mascarpone mixture over the cookies. Repeat the layering, ending with mascarpone mixture on top.
8.Sift cocoa powder over the top and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight. Serve chilled.
