Tiramisu

I first encountered this tasty and easy recipe when a friend brought it as a dessert dip to a dip party. I recently tried it out myself and was delighted how quick it is, just a couple of minutes and you have a wonderful dessert!

Tiramisu:
1-2 egg yolks per person, I use fresh organic eggs
1 tbsp coconut sugar per person
1/2 tub of Mascarpone
rum
cocoa powder for decoration
Beat the egg yolks for at least 1 minute, until they form a light and fluffy cream. Add the sugar and continue whisking. Add Mascarpone, try the mix and add more if needed, but you don't want it to be too cheesy. Add as much rum as you like (for 6 egg yolks I used 1/4 cup of spiced rum). Use a sift to decorate the Tiramisu with cocoa powder.
Very tasty with strawberries!

Eggnog - second try

I tried making the eggnog again.

Again I had to sift the eggnog so that it was smooth. I think it was the cinnamon that clotted in/with the milk during the heating process. But I am also wondering if it could be because I used coconut sugar instead of white sugar although I don't see why that would happen.

Next time (for New Year's Eve!) I want to try starting to heat the milk up after I have already started to whisk the egg yolks and sugar, I hope to better control the heating process that way. Also, I want to try adding the cinnamon to the egg mixture so that it is not heated up with the milk. Just in case I bought a proper sieve, though :)
