1
Brew Espresso
Brew 1 cup of espresso. Let it cool to room temperature.
2
Soak Ladyfingers
In a shallow dish, combine the cooled espresso and rum. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Set aside.

3
Whip Cream
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
4
Mix Mascarpone and Sugar
In another bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
5
Combine Mixtures
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
6
Add Egg Yolks
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale. Slowly fold the egg yolks into the mascarpone and whipped cream mixture.

7
Layer the Tiramisu
In a rectangular dish, place a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom. Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers.
8
Repeat Layers
Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers and top with the remaining mascarpone cream mixture.
9
Chill
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for better flavor.

10
Dust with Cocoa
Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder using a fine sieve.
