1
Prepare the Coffee
Brew the espresso and let it cool. If using coffee liqueur, mix it with the espresso.
2
Make the Cream Mixture
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale and creamy. Add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
3
Whip the Egg Whites
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture to lighten it.
4
Assemble the Tiramisu
Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the cooled coffee mixture, then layer them in a serving dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, then repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
5
Chill and Serve
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder.
