Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until well blended. Whisk in milk and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Add mascarpone cheese and beat until smooth.

  3. In a small bowl, combine coffee and rum. Dip each ladyfinger in the mixture, making sure to coat both sides. Place in a single layer in a 9x13 inch dish.

  4. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers and remaining mascarpone mixture.

  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.

  6. Before serving, sprinkle cocoa powder over the top. Cut into squares and serve chilled.
