Custard Ingredients

  • 6 pcs egg yolks
  • ¾ cup sugar

  • 1 ¼ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and milk in a saucepan.
  • Cook mixture over medium heat while whisking constantly. Once mixture starts bubbling, cook for an additional minute. Then take off heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  • Whip your cream and vanilla until soft peaks form.
  • Mix your rum and coffee. Dip ladyfingers into the boozy coffee and then line your pan with the soaked ladyfingers.
  • Once yolk mixture has cooled, lightly whisk with your cheese of choice (mascarpone or ricotta). Avoid over mixing.
  • Layer custard on top of lady fingers, followed by whipped cream.
  • Grate dark chocolate over entire top of cake.
  • Cover and refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
  • Enjoy :)

Notes

If too grainy, a quick blitz in the blender can help smooth the mixture before whisking with the cheese.
