Instructions

In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, whisk egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale. Let cool.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
Fold mascarpone cheese into the cooled egg yolk mixture until smooth.
Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully combined.
In a shallow dish, combine espresso and coffee liqueur.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture and layer them in a 9×9-inch dish.
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Dust with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings before serving.

Notes

Use high-quality espresso for the best flavor.
Do not soak the ladyfingers too long to prevent them from becoming mushy.
Tiramisu can be made a day ahead for better flavor development.
Alcohol can be omitted for a non-alcoholic version.
