The coffee needs to be cold.2.Set up a heatproof bowl over a small saucepan. Pour in about an inch or two of water into the saucepan, making sure that the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.

They will turn to mush and will not work for this recipe.12.Dunk the lady fingers in the coffee&rum mixture, just 2-3 seconds on each side. Don’t turn the lady fingers to mush, you want the center of the lady finger to still be dry. As the Tiramisu stands, it will soften be the perfect consistency.we don't want lady fingers are too wet.13.Arrange the soaked lady fingers in one layer. You can have them all in one direction, or different directions, just make it fit.14.Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the lady fingers.15.Dust it with cocoa powder.16.Repeat with another layer of lady fingers, dipping them in the coffee and rum mixture, arranging them in one layer and topping with the remaining mascarpone mixture.(this is for top layer)17.Spread it out evenly and dust with more cocoa powder.(this is for top layer)18.Spread it out evenly and dust with more cocoa powder. ***Chill for at least 6 hours before serving.Oh well.....here it is.......
