Step 1
First, make coffee and set it aside to cool.
Step 2
Separate eggs and put yolks into a heatproof bowl. Whisk in sugar (1/4 cup) and set bowl over a pot of water (make sure water isn't close to touching bowl). Bring water to a boil, lower heat and cook, whisking, for about 5 minutes - until mixture thickens into a creamy yellow custard. Set bowl aside so custard can cool. Whisk it every couple of minutes so it doesn't form a skin.
Step 3
Whip cream with vanilla (1/2 tsp) and sugar (1/4 tsp) until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Step 4
In a small bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together cream cheese, whipping cream (2 tbsp) and butter until fluffy and smooth.
Step 5
Use the mixer to blend the "mascarpone" into the cooled custard. Fold in whipped cream.
Step 6
In a shallow dish, combine coffee, rum extract and vanilla extract (1/2 tsp). Dip ladyfingers into coffee mixture one at a time. Don't soak them - just dip for about one second, flip over and dip the other side for one second. Then assemble in a layer in the bottom of whatever dishes you're using.**
Step 7
Add a layer of the creamy custard on top of the ladyfingers. Sprinkle with a dusting of cocoa powder from a small sieve. Continue to layer until you run out of ingredients.
Step 8
Chill at least 4 hours but up to 24 hours.Enjoy! :)
