Instructions
Make the cream
Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a double boiler until thick and pale, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Fold in mascarpone until smooth.
Make sure the egg mixture is completely cool before adding mascarpone to prevent it from splitting.
Whip cream
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in three additions.
Prepare coffee mixture
Brew strong espresso and let cool to room temperature. Add coffee liqueur if using. Pour into a shallow dish for dipping.
Assemble layers
Quickly dip each ladyfinger in espresso (1-2 seconds per side - don't soak). Arrange in a single layer in a 9x13 inch dish. Spread half the mascarpone cream over ladyfingers.
Work quickly when dipping - soggy ladyfingers will make the tiramisu mushy.
Repeat and chill
Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers, then remaining cream. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.
Serve
Before serving, generously dust with cocoa powder through a fine mesh sieve. Garnish with chocolate shavings if desired. Cut into squares and serve cold.
