1
Separate the Eggs
In a large bowl, separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Place the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another.
2
Whisk Egg Yolks and Sugar
Add granulated sugar to the egg yolks and whisk together until the mixture is pale and creamy.
3
Add Mascarpone
Fold the mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk and sugar mixture until well combined and smooth.
4
Whip Egg Whites
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until no white streaks remain.
5
Whip Cream
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.

6
Prepare Coffee
Brew the espresso or strong coffee and let it cool slightly. If using, mix in the coffee liqueur.

7
Dip Ladyfingers
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
8
Layer the Tiramisu
In a rectangular dish, layer half of the soaked ladyfingers on the bottom. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
9
Repeat Layers
Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers and top with the remaining mascarpone mixture.

10
Chill
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight to set.
11
Serve
Before serving, dust the top generously with cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings if desired.
