Method
Dolce
Prepare the Espresso
Brew the espresso coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Mix the Brandy
Once the espresso has cooled, stir in the brandy and set this mixture aside.
Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Whip the Heavy Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Combine Mixtures
Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Dip the Ladyfingers
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso-brandy mixture, making sure they are soaked but not soggy.
Layer the Tiramisu
In a rectangular dish, lay half of the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with the remaining ladyfingers and top with the remaining mascarpone mixture.
Chill
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Garnish and Serve
Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and cut into squares. Serve chilled.
