Chocolate Balsamic Tiramisu

Ingredients: 

• 6 egg yolks
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 1 pound Mascarpone at room temperature
• 1 3/4 cups cooled espresso
• 3 tablespoons Chocolate Balsamic from The Tree and Vine
• 24 ladyfingers
• 1/3 cup bittersweet chocolate shavings

Directions:

1. Using a mixer, beat egg yolks and sugar until thick, about 5 minutes.
2. Add room temperature Mascarpone to the egg yolks. Beat until smooth.
3. Add 1 tablespoon espresso and one tablespoon of Chocolate Balsamic and mix until thoroughly combined.
4. In a shallow bowl, mix the remaining espresso and Chocolate Balssamic.
5. Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso-Chocolate Balsamic mixture. (Allowing the ladyfingers to soak too long will cause them to fall apart.)
6. Place half of the ladyfingers on the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish, breaking them in half if necessary in order to fit the bottom.
7. Evenly spread half of the Mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
8. Arrange another layer of soaked ladyfingers on top, and top with the remaining Mascarpone mixture.
9. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 6 hours.
10. Before serving, sprinkle the top with chocolate shavings.
