Method
 

Ladyfingers:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F, line a small about 6 or 7 inch baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside
  2. In a large bowl whisk together your almond flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside
  3. In a second large bowl, using a hand or stand mixer on high, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy and smooth. Add in your cream cheese and vanilla and beat until well combined
  4. Add your eggs to the butter cream cheese mixture, one at a time. Making sure it is fully incorporated before adding the next egg
  5. Slowly add your almond flour mix. Mix until well incorporated. Spread in your prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown
  6. Allow to cool for 30 minutes and then cut into pieces approximately 1X3 inches. Set aside
Custard Filling:
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat your egg yolks and sugar until thick
  2. Place the bowl with the egg yolks in a double boiler over water that is at a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 9-10 minutes whisking constantly. Remove from the heat
  3. Whisk together your cream cheese and sour cream until nice and smooth, fold that into your egg yolk mixture. Set aside
  4. In a medium bowl using a stand or hand mixer, beat your whipping cream until peaks form
  5. Fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula, do not stir it - this could cause your whipped cream to break. Set aside
Assemble Your Tiramisu:
  1. Combine your espresso and rum, set aside
  2. Sprinkle a layer of cocoa powder using a sifter on the bottom on a 8x8 inch casserole type pan
  3. Dip your cake pieces in your espresso mix and then place a layer of your espresso dipped cake on the bottom (overtop of the cocoa powder).
  4. Spread 1/4 of your custard over the cake. Repeat the layers of espresso dipped cake and custard, ending with custard
  5. Top with another coat of cocoa powder, using your sifter. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Slice and enjoy!
