Here's how to make Tiramisu at home in five simple steps.

Prepare the Coffee, brew a strong cup of espresso or black coffee, then let it cool. add 1-2 tablespoons of coffee liqueur or rum if desired for added flavor.

Make the Cream Mixture, in a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of mascarpone cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. in a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the mascarpone mixture gently.

Dip the Ladyfingers, quickly dip each ladyfinger cookie into the cooled coffee mixture, soaking both sides briefly. place a layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of your serving dish.

Layer the Tiramisu, spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers. add another layer of coffee dipped ladyfingers, then spread the remaining cream mixture on top.

Chill and Serve, cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving, dust with cocoa powder and enjoy your homemade tiramisu.
