1
Prepare Coffee
Brew the espresso coffee and let it cool. Add dark rum or coffee liqueur to the coffee.
2
Make the Cream Mixture
In a bowl, separate the egg yolks and whites. Whisk the egg yolks with granulated sugar until the mixture becomes pale and creamy. Then, gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until smooth.
3
Whisk the Egg Whites
In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined.
4
Assemble the Tiramisu
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Layer half of the soaked ladyfingers in a rectangular dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with the remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
5
Chill and Serve
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder.
