Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mascarpone Custard

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.

  2. 2

    Whip the Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Coffee Mixture

    In a shallow dish, combine the brewed coffee and rum. Stir well to mix.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tiramisu

    Dip each ladyfinger biscuit into the coffee mixture for a few seconds until soaked but not soggy. Layer half of the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a rectangular dish.

  5. 5

    Layer the Custard

    Spread half of the mascarpone custard mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and then the remaining custard.

  6. 6

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder.
