Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Ladyfingers
- 240 ml Freshly brewed espresso
- 60 ml Dark rum
- 500 g Ricotta cheese
- 250 g Mascarpone cheese
- 100 g Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
- 30 g Dark chocolate (grated, for garnish)
Instructions
Brew the espresso and allow it to cool to room temperature. Mix the espresso with the dark rum in a shallow bowl.
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.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso and rum mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not overly soggy.
Arrange one layer of the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a rectangular or square dish (approximately 8x8 inches).
Spread half of the ricotta and mascarpone mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers.
Repeat the process with another layer of soaked ladyfingers, followed by the remaining cheese mixture, spreading it smoothly on top.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu generously with cocoa powder. Garnish with grated dark chocolate.
Slice into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy your Rum and Ricotta Tiramisu!
