The Ultimate Tiramisu Recipe for Any Occasion

Instructions:
1. Beat Egg Yolks and Sugar: In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until they are pale and thick. This can take about 5 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.

2. Add Mascarpone: Add the mascarpone cheese to the egg mixture and beat until smooth and well incorporated. Avoid over-mixing, which can cause the cheese to seize.

3. Whip Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until just combined, maintaining the mixture's light and airy texture.

4. Prepare Coffee Mixture: Mix the cooled coffee with the coffee liqueur (if using) in a shallow dish.

5. Assemble the Tiramisu: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are moist but not soggy. Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of your serving dish.

6. Layer with Cream Mixture: Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers and then cover with the remaining mascarpone mixture. Smooth the top with a spatula.

7. Chill: Cover and refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

8. Serve: Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.
