Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a large bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer until it is smooth and creamy.
2
In a separate bowl, brew a cup of strong espresso and let it cool to room temperature. Once the espresso has cooled, stir in the Kahlúa and set the mixture aside.
3
Dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture for about 3-5 seconds on each side. They should be soft and pliable but not too wet.
4
In a large serving dish, create a layer of ladyfingers. You may need to trim the ladyfingers to fit the dish.
5
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat the layers, starting with the ladyfingers, then the mascarpone mixture, and finally another layer of ladyfingers.
6
Dust the top of the tiramisu with the unsweetened cocoa powder and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
