Brew the espresso coffee and allow it to cool. You can add a splash of rum or coffee liqueur for extra flavor if desired.
In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and creamy. Add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
Dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso for a second or two, then layer them in a dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, and repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings.
