Beat 1 cup whipping cream until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until soft peaks form. Fold into rum mixture.
5
Beat egg whites (at room temperature) until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold into rum mixture. Spoon mixture into prepared mold. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
