Chill. 2. Place a pot with 2 inches of water on medium heat and bring to a simmer. In a metal or glass bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar and Marsala wine. Place over the pot of simmering water and whisking constantly until mixture has doubled and holds a ribbon design on itself when you lift the whisk. Remove from heat. 3.

Mix coffee, rum and sugar until sugar has dissolved. To Assemble: 1. Dip ladyfingers in the coffee soaking liquid, just for a moment, to let it soak up the coffee (but not get soggy). Line the bottom of a trifle bowl, or decorative casserole dish completely with the soaked ladyfingers. 2. Spread a half of the Cream Filling over the ladyfingers and sprinkle with grated chocolate. 3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2. (If your trifle dish is quite tall, repeat Steps 1 & 2 again, using a third of the cream filling each time). 4. Spread whipped cream topping over Tiramisu, dust with cocoa powder and sprinkle with grated chocolate.
