Tiramisu 101

Step 1 In a medium saucepan, whisk together eggs and sugar until well blended. Whisk in milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Boil gently for 1 minute, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Cover tightly and chill in refrigerator 1 hour.

Step 2 In a medium bowl, beat cream with vanilla until stiff peaks form.
