Method
Preparing the Tiramisu
- 1
Prepare the Coffee
Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool to room temperature. If desired, stir in the coffee liqueur for added flavor.
- 2
Mix the Mascarpone Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to whisk the mixture until smooth and creamy.
- 3
Dip the Ladyfingers
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Lay them in a single layer at the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish.
- 4
Layer the Mixture
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers. Use a spatula for an even spread.
- 5
Repeat the Layers
Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers on top of the mascarpone layer, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture. Smooth out the top with a spatula.

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

Serve and Garnish
Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and sprinkle with dark chocolate shavings. Cut into squares and serve chilled.
