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
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
Chocolate Candies
Chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)


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
4. Fold in the mascarpone spoon by spoon. The mixture should be nice and thick. If it isn't thick and comes out runny, use a hand blender with whipping blades and blend until thick
5. Mix espresso and the rest of the brandy on a small plate
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
8. Cover the tiramisu and rest in the fridge for four hours
9. Before serving, sprinkle cocoa and chocolate shavings on top
