Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

In a metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla until the mixture doubles in volume and forms a ribbon when whisked. Remove from heat. In a clean bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth. Whisk the egg whites until medium peaks form. Fold the whites into the yolk mixture.
Syrup: Heat the coffee, rum, and sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove the syrup from the stove.

Topping: Whip the cream until soft peaks form and fold in the sugar and vanilla. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
Assembly: Dip the savoiardi in the coffee syrup for a few seconds and divide three into four serving bowls. Top with a generous layer of cream cheese frosting and grate some chocolate. Place a second layer of soaked savoiardi on top, cover with the remaining cream cheese frosting and grated chocolate. Top each serving of tiramisu with a spoonful of whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder. Refrigerate until serving.
