For Marscapone Filling / Frosting
5 whole Egg Yolks
1 1/2 tablespoons Dark Rum
3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
16 ounces Marscapone Cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
1 1/3 cup Heavy Whipping Cream

For Liquor Infused Coffee
3/4 cup Espresso Or Strong Brewed Coffee
1/3 cup Coffee Liquor
2 tablespoons Dark Rum
1 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract

For Chocolate Curls
4 ounces Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar

Cooking Instructions:

For Marscapone Filling / Frosting
1. In the top of a double boiler or in a heat safe bowl over a saucepan with simmering water, add egg yolks, 1 1/2 tablespoons rum, and 3/4 cup sugar.
2. Beat until light, airy, and pale yellow, with a whisk or hand blender. About 6-8 minutes by hand.
3. Remove from heat, whisk-in marscapone cheese, and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla. Stir until creamy, and well combined. Allow to cool until room temperature.
4. Beat whipping cream until whipped.
5. Fold whipping cream into marscapone mixture 1/3 at a time, until all whipping cream has been incorporated. Set mixture aside.

For Liquor Infused Coffee
1. Mix all ingredients together until sugar is dissolved.

To Assemble Tiramisu Angel Food Cake
1. Cut angel food cake in 3 equal layers. Set top two layers aside.
2. Brush top of bottom layer of angel food cake with liquor infused coffee, cover with about 1/4 of marscapone filling, brush bottom of next layer with liquor infused coffee, and cover marscapone filling. Repeat with next layer.
3. Brush tops and sides of angel food cake with remaining liquor infused coffee. Frost sides, inside, and top of cake. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

To Make Chocolate Curls
1. Use a sharp vegetable peeler on the side of chocolate bar to create curls, and shavings. Chocolate curls best when firm but slightly softened, close to the point it leaves chocolate on your fingers. Make sure to keep fingers tucked to prevent cuts. Alternatively chocolate can be grated.
Cover top of cake with chocolate curls, and serve.

(Cook's note: My 2 favorite desserts....chocolate mousse and Tiramisu! One of the few times I ever order dessert will be Tiramisu if it's on the menu! Having a prepared Angel food cake is a plus!)
