Prepare the mascarpone cream: separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the yolks with sugar and vanilla until the mixture whitens and becomes frothy. Incorporate the mascarpone and mix until you get a smooth and homogeneous cream.

Whip the egg whites into stiff peaks with a pinch of salt. Gently incorporate them into the mascarpone cream by lifting the preparation with a spatula to preserve lightness.

Mix the cooled coffee with the rum if using. Quickly dip the ladyfinger biscuits in this mixture (1 second per side) without soaking them. Arrange a first layer of biscuits at the bottom of a rectangular dish.

Cover the biscuits with half of the mascarpone cream. Add a second layer of soaked biscuits, then finish with the remaining cream. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
