Brew the espresso ahead of time, at least 1 hour, and have completely chilled before assembling the tiramisu. Add in the dark rum and stir to combine when chilled.

Using a handheld electric mixer on low, make whipping cream by combining 1-3/4 cups whipping cream, whip until bubbles form, then add 1/8 cream of tartar, and 1 Tsp. vanilla extract.

Bring a pot of water to boil either in a double boiler or just a metal bowl over a medium pan of water (use baking mitts!) add 1 cup sugar and 6 egg yolks. Reduce to simmer and stir continuously for 10 minutes.

Make the chilled espresso ahead of time, I always do it the day before and have it completely chilled before using it.
