Method

1) Over a saucepan of barely boiling water place a metal bowl. Whisk to combine the six egg yolks and the sugar this may take up to ten minutes for the sugar to dissolve. Next slowly mix in the whole milk. Chill the bowl until cooled down over ice a few minutes. When cool mix in the Marscapone cheese mixing until almost smooth.

2) In a mixer place the 11/4 cups of heavy whipping cream and the vanilla extract. Whisk together until peaks form. Chill covered until ready for use.

3) In a shallow dish combine the 1/2 cup strong coffee and the 1/4 cup dark rum. Lightly grease the bottom and sides of the Tiramisu dish. Split the lady fingers length wise and spoon the rum coffee mixture over so they are moist but not soggy.

5) Add a second layer of the split lady fingers lightly moistened by the coffee mixture. You may do this with a shallow pie plate or bowl.

6) Repeat the custard layer and the whipped cream layer.
