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.

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.
