Tiramisu

My favorite dessert to eat and make!  The first step is to make the custard.  This is made with 6 egg yolks, 3/4 C of sugar, and 2/3 C of whole milk.  I cook this in a double boiler and once it is thick, I put this custard in the refrigerator to cool.  Once it is cool, I add one pound of mascarpone cheese to it.  Then you build the tiramisu just like a lasagna.  In a square pan, layer lady fingers covering the bottom of the pan that have been dipped in equal parts rum and coffee.  The next layer is the custard, spread smooth, and then add a layer of whip cream and sprinkle with cocoa powder.  Then repeat everything for one more layer.
