**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup brewed strong coffee, cooled
– 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
– 24 ladyfinger cookies
– 1 ½ cups mascarpone cheese
– ½ cup granulated sugar
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1 cup heavy cream
– Cocoa powder, for dusting
**Instructions:**
1. In a shallow bowl, combine the cooled coffee with the coffee liqueur, if using. Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture for about 1-2 seconds, ensuring they are soaked but not overly saturated.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated.
4. In a serving dish or individual glasses, begin assembling the tiramisu. Place a layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of the dish, covering it evenly.
5. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, creating a smooth layer with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
6. Repeat the process by adding another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers on top of the mascarpone mixture, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture.
7. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
8. Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder for a finishing touch.
