228gramsmascarpone cheese, 1 cup, set out to come to room temperature
200gramsladyfingers, 1 bag, or 200 grams of nilla wafers
2cupsstrong coffee, cooled
3tablespoonsbourbon
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
Mash two bananas very well. Thinly slice the remaining two and set aside.
Whisk together the egg yolks and the 1/2 cup sugar until it's one shade lighter in color and nearly doubled in size.
In another bowl, whip the cream and 1/4 cup sugar into stiff peaks. Fold in the mascarpone with a spatula.
Fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped cream and add the mashed bananas. Mix until just combined.
In a shallow bowl, add the coffee and bourbon. In a 12" x 9" baking dish, dust the bottom with cocoa powder. Quickly dip the ladyfingers in the coffee and layer them in the bottom of the dish. Add half the cream on top and dot with banana slices.
Repeat this for one more layer, finishing the tiramisu with banana slices on top.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill for 6-24 hours.
