Method
Preparation
Prepare the Coffee
Brew a strong cup of coffee and allow it to cool slightly. If using, mix in the coffee liqueur. Set aside.
Make the Mascarpone Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip together using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Prepare the Ladyfingers
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Place half of them in a single layer at the bottom of a 9x9 inch dish.
Layer the Tiramisu
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture on top.
Chill the Dessert
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve
Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings. Cut into squares and enjoy!
