Instructions
Coffee Simple Syrup
Stir strong coffee, sugar, and rum until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
Mascarpone Cream
In a heatproof bowl that rests easily in your saucepan without touching the surface of the water (bain-marie), whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is pale, thick, and hot to the touch for about 5 minutes. Make sure the sugar is fully dissolved. Set aside to cool for about 15 minutes.
Once egg yolk mixture has cooled, add the mascarpone and vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture until well combined. Then gently fold in the whipped cream in until smooth.
Assemble
Line the side of a 9-inch/22cm round springform pan with baking paper or transparent cake side membrane.
One at a time, gently dip both sides of ladyfinger into the coffee syrup, then place in the bottom of the springform pan. Trim any ladyfingers as needed so that it fits in the pan. Top with about half the mascarpone filling, spread into an even layer. Repeat the process for the second layer.
Pipe whipped cream on top if desired.
Chill for at least 6 hours or overnight to set.
Dust the top with cocoa powder generously just before serving.
