Tiramisu

1.In a shallow dish, combine the strong brewed coffee and coffee liqueur.

2.Dip each ladyfinger cookie into the coffee mixture, making sure to coat both sides. Do not soak the cookies for too long as they will become too soft.

4.In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.

5.Add the mascarpone cheese and continue whisking until smooth and creamy.

6.In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

7.Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well incorporated.

8.Spread half of the mascarpone filling over the soaked ladyfingers in the baking dish.

9.Repeat the layers with the remaining soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone filling.

10.Sift the cocoa powder over the top layer of the tiramisu.

11.Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.

12.Serve chilled and enjoy!
