Amaretto Tiramisu

Step 1

Start by making the sabayon and whisk the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract until smooth. Bring a pot of water to a simmer and place bowl on top of the pot, making sure the water is not touching the bottom of the bowl.

Step 2

Continue whisking for about 10 minutes, until mixture is slightly thickened and a light yellow color. Remove from heat and set aside while you prep the rest of the tiramisu.

Step 3

Using an electric mixer, whisk mascarpone, dark rum and amaretto until smooth. Slowly drizzle in egg mixture and whisk until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream until soft-medium peaks, about 3-5 minutes. Then fold in half of the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until incorporated and finish with the other half. The mixture will look a bit loose but will firm up as it chills.

Step 5

Meanwhile, in another bowl, stir the coffee, dark rum and Amaretto together. Dip both sides of the ladyfingers into the coffee mixture and place in a 9inch x 13inch casserole dish, lining up the ladyfingers so they are in a snug single layer.

Step 6

Spread half of the mascarpone mixture onto the first layer and dip the rest of the ladyfingers into the coffee mixture for the second layer and spreading the remaining mascarpone mixture on top.

Step 7

Place a sheet of plastic wrap
