Choffy Tiramisu

Created by: Jason Vanderhoven

A new take on an old favorite treat! As one of my most favorite desserts, tiramisu is even better with Choffy!

Ingredients:

• 6 egg yolks
• ¾ cup white sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pound mascarpone cheese
• ¼ cup strong brewed Choffy, room temperature
• 2 (3 ounce) packages ladyfinger cookies
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until well blended. Whisk in milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Boil gently for 1 minute, remove from heat and allow mixture to cool slightly. Cover tightly and chill in refrigerator 1 hour.
2. In a medium bowl, beat cream with vanilla until stiff peaks form. Whisk mascarpone into yolk mixture until smooth.
3. Pour Choffy into a small bowl. Quickly roll ladyfingers in Choffy. (Note: ladyfingers will fall apart if soaked, so quickly roll, meaning 1 to 2 seconds per ladyfinger.)
4. Arrange half of soaked ladyfingers in bottom of a 7x11 inch dish. Spread half of mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers, then half of whipped cream over that. Repeat layers and sprinkle with cocoa. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours, until set.
