Instructions:
1. Whip the Cream
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
2. Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture
3. Dip the Ladyfingers
Mix the cooled coffee and coffee liqueur (if using). Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the mixture—just a second or two per side (don’t soak, or they’ll get soggy!).
4. Layer the Tiramisu
-
Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers in a dish (8×8″ or similar).
-
Spread half the mascarpone cream evenly over the top.
-
Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining cream.
5. Chill & Serve
-
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best results).
-
Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and top with dark chocolate shavings (if using).
-
Slice and enjoy!
