How to Make Light Heavenly Tiramisu

  1. In a shallow dish, combine the cooled coffee and 1/4 cup of Kahlúa or Tia Maria.
  2. Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy. Arrange a single layer in a 20cm (8-inch) square casserole dish.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gradually fold in the prepared vanilla custard (or whipped cream and sugar) and gently incorporate the whipped cream, if using. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Spread one-third of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers.
  6. Repeat steps 2 and 5 twice more, creating two additional layers of ladyfingers and cream cheese mixture. Finish with a final layer of cream cheese mixture.
  7. Dust the top generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.
  8. Cover the casserole dish and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up.
  9. Before serving, remove from the refrigerator and let sit for 10-15 minutes to slightly soften. Cut into squares and enjoy!
