Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooling time: 6 hours
Total time: 6 hours and 30 minutes
Number of servings: 8-10

Ingredients for Tiramisu:
- 7 egg yolks
- 200 g sugar
- 250 g mascarpone cheese
- 5 tablespoons Lacrima lui Ovidiu wine (or Marsala wine, in the original version)
- 500 ml plant-based whipped cream (I recommend the Hulala brand)
- 4 tablespoons sour cream (20% fat)
- approximately 48 ladyfinger cookies
- A tray of approximately 30 cm x 20 cm

Ingredients for the syrup to soak the cookies:
- 200 ml hot black coffee
- 200 ml cold water
- 120 ml rum
- 2 tablespoons sugar

Steps to Prepare Tiramisu:

1. Making the Egg Yolk Cream:
Start by preparing the egg yolk cream. In a heat-resistant bowl, add the 7 egg yolks and 200 g sugar. Place the bowl over a double boiler (a pot of boiling water) and continuously stir for about 10 minutes. You will notice that the mixture becomes frothy and thickens.

2. Adding the Wine:
Once the cream has thickened, add the 5 tablespoons of Lacrima lui Ovidiu wine (or Marsala). Continue stirring over the double boiler for another 2-3 minutes until the wine is well incorporated. Turn off the heat and let the cream cool.

3. Preparing the Syrup:
While the cream cools, prepare the syrup! Mix the 200 ml of hot coffee with 200 ml of cold water and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Then, add the rum and mix well. The syrup will be used to soak the cookies, bringing them a deep and delicious flavor.

4. Whipping the Cream:
In another bowl, whip the plant-based cream until it becomes firm. With about 4 tablespoons of sour cream added before reaching the desired consistency, you will achieve a stable whipped cream without using stabilizer powder.

5. Combining the Ingredients:
Once the egg yolk cream has cooled, add 250 g of mascarpone and gently mix until it becomes homogeneous. Then, fold this cream into the whipped cream, mixing carefully to maintain aeration.

6. Assembling the Tiramisu:
Now it is time to assemble the tiramisu. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee, rum, and water syrup (without leaving them too long) and place them in a single layer at the bottom of the tray. On top of this layer, add half of the prepared cream. Repeat the process with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and add the remaining cream on top.

7. Finalizing and Cooling:
To finish, sprinkle a generous layer of cocoa over the tiramisu. This will not only add a delicious taste but also provide a beautiful color contrast. Cover the tray with plastic wrap and let the dessert chill in the refrigerator for about 6 hours (or even overnight for an even more intense flavor).

8. Serving:
Cut the tiramisu into portions and serve well chilled. It is perfect to be enjoyed alongside a cup of coffee or a glass of sweet wine.

Tips and Tricks:
- Use freshly brewed coffee for an intense flavor.
- If you prefer a stronger coffee aroma, add a teaspoon of instant coffee to the syrup.
- You can replace the rum with amaretto for an almond note.
- Make sure the cream and sour cream are well chilled before use to achieve the best results.

Possible Variations:
