• 100 g Powdered sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp Cocoa powder

Directions

Step 1

Brew the espresso and allow it to cool to room temperature. Mix the espresso with the dark rum in a shallow bowl.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso and rum mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not overly soggy.

Step 4

Arrange one layer of the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a rectangular or square dish (approximately 8x8 inches).

Step 5

Spread half of the ricotta and mascarpone mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers.

Step 6

Repeat the process with another layer of soaked ladyfingers, followed by the remaining cheese mixture, spreading it smoothly on top.

Step 7

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu generously with cocoa powder. Garnish with grated dark chocolate.

Step 9

Slice into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy your Rum and Ricotta Tiramisu!
