- Zest both lemons. Set zest aside. Juice lemons until you have 1/4 cup juice. Mix juice with 1/4 cup sugar, and 2 sprigs thyme in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- In a small bowl, stir together gelatin with water and set aside to soften. In a large saucepan, combine milk, reserved lemon zest, and 3 sprigs of thyme.
- While custard cools, line the side of a 9-inch springform pan with a strip of parchment paper or acetate wide enough to come up over the edge. Take 24 of the lady finger halves and cut off the rounded edge of one end of the lady fingers so that they're flat and make a 90° angle with the long side of the lady finger.
- Once custard has cooled, whip 1 cup cream to medium peaks. Gently fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the custard. Once well incorporated, fold the remaining whipped cream into the custard mixture.

Start with the syrup.
This is an effortless step. In a medium pot, mix sugar and water, bring to a boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the stove and flavor the syrup with rum extract. Note:Do not add the rum extract while simmering the syrup, as the flavor will dissipate. Let the syrup cool down. This syrup will be used to steep the ladyfingers in it. If you add ladyfingers to hot syrup, they will fall apart. Line the bottom of the springform with cling wrap. Steep the ladyfin...
Whipped Cream: Place mixer bowl and whisk in freezer for at least 20 minutes to chill. The heavy cream will beat faster if everything is very cold. Pour heavy whipping cream and vanilla into the cold bowl and whisk on high speed until medium to stiff peaks form, about 1 minute. Do not overbeat. Set aside. Bavarian Cream: Start by hydrating the gela...
Pour half the filling on the bottom of the cake over the ladyfingers. Cover the filling with another layer of ladyfingers soaked in the syrup.

The next day, carefully remove the edges of t...
