No raw egg Tiramisu

This is a fantastic Tiramisu recipe! It does NOT require raw eggs and the cake itself is made instead of using ladyfingers (although you could use them still). I recommend making the custard from scratch first and then chilling it before starting on the cake, however you can use custard pudding from the store.

I dont remember where I got it from, but it is tried and true.

Ingredients

  • Butter (for greasing)
  • 3 Eggs
  • 3/4 c Golden superfine Sugar
  • 2/3 cup self rising flour
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
  • 2/3 cup of espresso (cold)
  • 2 tbsp Rum
  • 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa (to decorate)
  • (for the filling)

  • 1 5/8 cups of marscopone cheese
  • 1 cup fresh custard (cook method custard the best!, but I make my own fresh)
  • 1/4 cup golden superfine sugar
  • 3 1/2 oz 100 g semisweet chocolate, grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F
    Grease an 8 inch pan w/ butter and line with parchment paper
    Beat the eggs and sugar in a large bowl until light and thick.
    Sift flour and unsweetened cocoa over the batter and fold in gently.

    Let stand for 5 minutes then turn out onto a cooling rack

Place espresso and rum in a cup and set aside

Place mascarpone in a large bowl and beat until soft. Stir in custard and then gradually add the sugar, beating constantly. Stir in grated chocolate.
