How to Make Special Tiramisu

• Pour about 1.5 cups of the hot milk gradually into the yolk mixture, stirring all the time.
• Pour it into remaining hot milk and place on slow flame.
• Cook stirring till the mixture comes to a boil. Simmer gently for 2 more mins.
• Remove from fire and gradually beat in the butter (you can add rum).
• Cool and chill in the fridge (Place a plastic sheet on top of the custard to prevent skin from forming).
• Beat in the curd cheese.
• Cut the cake into thin slices.
• Place 1/3 of cake slices at the base of a pudding dish.
