Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Rhubarb Compote by cutting rhubarb into 1-inch pieces and combining with sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook for 10-15 minutes, then thicken with cornstarch slurry.
  2. Make the Rhubarb Syrup by combining water and sugar in a saucepan, then adding cooled rhubarb compote and simmering for 10 minutes. Strain and cool.
  3. Prepare Mascarpone Filling over a double boiler by whisking egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla bean paste until thickened. Fold in mascarpone cheese until smooth.
  4. Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into mascarpone mixture to create the filling.
  5. Assemble Tiramisu by dipping ladyfingers in rhubarb syrup and layering in a dish with mascarpone filling and rhubarb compote.
  6. Chill the assembled Tiramisu for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to meld flavors and set layers.
