Assemble the Tiramisu
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Layer half of the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with the remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
