Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Espresso Mixture

    Brew the espresso and let it cool slightly. Mix the cooled espresso with the rum and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Mascarpone Mixture

    In a large bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Whip the Heavy Cream

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

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tiramisu

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Layer half of the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

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