Assemble the Tiramisu
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Layer half of the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers. Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone cream. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder.
