1 cup (250ml) dark rum
6 egg yolks
1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar
500g mascarpone
3/4 cup (185ml) orange juice
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped

Method

1.

Tiramisu will need to chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours.
2.

Heat raisins and 2 tablespoons rum in a pan over medium-low heat until just warm. Cool.
3.

Beat yolks and sugar until thick and pale. Mix in mascarpone, 1/2 cup (125ml) rum, 1/4 cup (60ml) orange juice, vanilla extract and scraped vanilla seeds. Combine remaining 85ml rum and 1/2 cup (125ml) juice in a bowl.
4.

Dip 12 sponge fingers in rum mixture and arrange in a single layer in a 1.5L trifle dish. Top with one-third of the mascarpone mixture and half the raisins, then repeat. Top with a final layer of mascarpone. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 6 hours. Sprinkle with chocolate to serve.
