How to Make Rum And Ricotta Tiramisu

  1. In a large bowl, beat together 15 ounces ricotta cheese, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons dark rum using electric beaters until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes). Set aside.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled), 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional).
  3. Quickly dip one side of each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are just moistened, not soggy.
  4. Arrange half of the coffee-dipped ladyfingers in a single layer in the bottom of a large, flat-based serving dish or individual glasses.
  5. Spread half of the ricotta mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
  6. Dust evenly with 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder.
  7. Repeat layers with remaining coffee-dipped ladyfingers, ricotta mixture, and cocoa powder.
  8. Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. Before serving, dust with the remaining 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder.
