Ladyfingers:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F, line a small about 6 or 7 inch baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside
- In a large bowl whisk together your almond flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside
- 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
- Add your eggs to the butter cream cheese mixture, one at a time. Making sure it is fully incorporated before adding the next egg
- 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
- Allow to cool for 30 minutes and then cut into pieces approximately 1X3 inches. Set aside
Custard Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat your egg yolks and sugar until thick
- 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
- Whisk together your cream cheese and sour cream until nice and smooth, fold that into your egg yolk mixture. Set aside
- In a medium bowl using a stand or hand mixer, beat your whipping cream until peaks form
- 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:
- Combine your espresso and rum, set aside
- Sprinkle a layer of cocoa powder using a sifter on the bottom on a 8x8 inch casserole type pan
- 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).
- Spread 1/4 of your custard over the cake. Repeat the layers of espresso dipped cake and custard, ending with custard
- Top with another coat of cocoa powder, using your sifter. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Slice and enjoy!
