Tiramisu is given a decadent makeover in this surprisingly simple recipe.

3/4 cup (125g) raisins
1 cup (250ml) dark rum
6 egg yolks
1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar
500g mascarpone
1 tsp vanilla extract
Juice of 2 oranges
16 sponge finger biscuits (savoiardi)
Dark chocolate curls, to serve
Cocoa powder, to serve

Method

1.

Place raisins and 2 tbs rum in a bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Allow to cool.
2.

Whisk yolks and sugar with electric beaters until thick and pale. Whisking constantly on low speed, gradually add mascarpone, vanilla, 1/4 cup (60ml) orange juice and 1/2 cup (125ml) rum.
3.

Place the remaining orange juice and 1/3 cup (80ml) rum in a shallow dish. Dip half the biscuits in the rum mixture and divide among four 1-cup (250ml) serving glasses. Top with half the raisin mixture, then half the mascarpone mixture. Repeat, finishing with a layer of the mascarpone mixture. Chill for at least 2 hours for flavours to infuse.
4.

Top with chocolate curls and dust with cocoa, then serve.
