Method

Coffee Mixture

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee Mixture

    In a shallow dish, combine the brewed espresso, coffee liqueur, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool.

Mascarpone Filling

  1. 2

    Mix Mascarpone Filling

    In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and powdered sugar together until pale and creamy. Add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth and well combined.

  2. 3

    Whip the Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until no streaks remain.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Layer the Tiramisu

    Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Arrange half of the soaked ladyfingers in a single layer at the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish.

  2. 5

    Add the Filling

    Spread half of the mascarpone filling over the ladyfingers, smoothing it out with a spatula.

  3. 6

    Repeat the Layers

    Repeat the dipping and layering process with the remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone filling.

  4. 7

    Final Touch

    Once assembled, cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set. Before serving, dust the top generously with cocoa powder.
