Directions
- 1
Prepare the Coffee Mixture
Brew the espresso coffee and let it cool. Once cool, mix in the coffee liqueur if using, and set aside.

Whip the Heavy Cream
In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer.

Make the Mascarpone Mixture
In a separate large bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Fold in the Whipped Cream
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

Soak the Ladyfingers
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a rectangular dish.

Layer the Mascarpone Mixture
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of ladyfingers, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.

Add Another Layer
Repeat the process by adding another layer of soaked ladyfingers on top of the mascarpone mixture, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture.

Chill the Tiramisu
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
