- 1/4 cup (50 g) sugar
- 1/2 cup (113 g) mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled

Instructions
- Using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream with the sugar on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the mascarpone and vanilla extract into the whipped cream until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- In a shallow dish, combine the cooled coffee with the coffee liqueur or rum, if using.
- Quickly dip the ladyfingers in the coffee mixture. Be sure to dip them just long enough to get them damp but not soggy.
- In two serving glasses or small bowls, start with a layer of the soaked ladyfingers, followed by a layer of the mascarpone mixture. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used.
- Refrigerate the tiramisu for 2 hours to overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and garnish with grated chocolate or chocolate curls, if desired.
Notes
- *Use crispy (Savoiardi) ladyfingers, not the soft kind. If you can't find them, you can substitute sponge cake cut into strips.
- Store tightly covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days.
