Foodie Indian

Ingredients:

• 6 egg yolks
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
• 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 24 ladyfingers
• 1 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar together until creamy and pale yellow.
2. In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
3. Gradually pour the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool.
5. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
6. In another bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese until smooth. Then fold in the whipped cream and vanilla extract.
7. Gently fold the cooled egg yolk mixture into the mascarpone and cream mixture until well combined.
8. Dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee or espresso and arrange them in a single layer in a rectangular dish.
9. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
10. Repeat the ladyfinger and mascarpone layers, ending with a layer of mascarpone on top.
11. Sift cocoa powder evenly over the top layer.
12. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.
13. Before serving, dust with additional cocoa powder if desired.
14. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve chilled.
