Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert, known and appreciated worldwide for its creamy texture and delicious combination of flavors. While coffee is the key ingredient in the traditional recipe, this adapted version is perfect for those who prefer a sweeter and more aromatic taste, without the bitterness of coffee. Additionally, the essence of rum adds a touch of mystery and warmth, transforming each serving into a unique experience. Let's get started!

Ingredients

- 2 double packs of Boromir ladyfingers (approximately 400 g)
- 500 g Hulala whipped cream (or another plant-based whipped cream)
- 250 g mascarpone
- 2 Danone Cremoso yogurts (approximately 300 g)
- 200 g powdered sugar
- 250 ml milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 essences of rum (preferably high quality)
- Cocoa balls for decoration (optional)

Step by Step Preparation

1. Preparing the whipped cream: Start by preparing the whipped cream according to the instructions on the package. Once well whipped, put it in the fridge to firm up.

2. Boiling the milk: In a small pot, add 250 ml of milk, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cocoa. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Once the mixture starts to boil, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool. After it has cooled, add the 2 essences of rum and mix well.

3. Mascarpone cream: In a large bowl, add 250 g of mascarpone and the 2 Cremoso yogurts. Start mixing on low speed, then gradually add 200 g of powdered sugar. Mix everything until you achieve a smooth cream.

4. Incorporating the whipped cream: Take the whipped cream out of the fridge and gently fold it into the mascarpone cream with a spatula. Be gentle to maintain the airy texture of the whipped cream.

5. Assembling the tiramisu: In a high-sided dish, start soaking half of the ladyfingers in the milk and cocoa mixture. Place them on the bottom of the dish, forming an even layer. Pour 3/4 of the cream obtained and spread it evenly over the ladyfingers. Continue with another layer of soaked ladyfingers, then pour the remaining cream.

6. Decorating: Finally, you can decorate the tiramisu with cocoa balls or, if you prefer, you can grate some chocolate on top for an even more refined look and taste.

7. Cooling: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let the dessert chill in the fridge for at least 5 hours (ideally overnight) to firm up and allow the flavors to meld.

Practical Tips

- Choosing ladyfingers: Make sure the ladyfingers are of good quality to achieve the perfect texture. Boromir ladyfingers are an excellent choice due to their softness.
- Flavors: You can experiment with different essences, such as vanilla or amaretto, to customize the flavor of your dessert.
- Serving: Tiramisu pairs perfectly with a chocolate sauce or a dollop of whipped cream on top. A fragrant coffee or herbal tea can perfectly complement this delicacy.
