How to Make Best Ever Tiramisu

  1. Brew espresso and let it cool completely. In a shallow dish, combine cooled espresso with 1/4 cup of coffee liqueur.
  2. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture, ensuring it's just moistened, not soggy, and arrange them in a single layer in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the heavy cream until combined. In a separate bowl whisk the egg yolks with 2 tablespoons of sugar until pale and thick.
  4. Gradually add the egg yolk mixture to the mascarpone mixture, folding gently until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers. Repeat layers with remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Before serving, dust generously with unsweetened cocoa powder and garnish with shaved chocolate or cocoa nibs (optional).
