Spring Tiramisu

Make some delicious easter-themed tiramisu with this SheKnows food how-to!




Ingredients:
8 ounces Italian mascarpone cheese
Pre-made Angel Food Cake
2 small egg yolks
2 tablespoons sugar
2 ounces espresso or extra strong coffee, cooled
1-1/2 tablespoons dark rum or brandy

Directions:
1. Take a pre-baked angle food cake and cut it in to ½ inch slices
2. Cut the cake into the circle to fit the mold
3. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar and half of the brandy. Whip the mixture fast to thicken

6. Brush each side of the angel food cut out with the mixture (do not soak) and add a layer to the bottom of your serving dish
7. Top the cake with chocolate candies and pipe in cheese mixture to top of the chocolate candies; then repeat and top with the rest of mascarpone

9. Before serving, sprinkle cocoa and chocolate shavings on top
