Detailed Directions and Instructions
Prepare the Coffee Mixture
In a shallow dish, combine brewed coffee and a splash of coffee liqueur (optional). Stir well and set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the Tiramisu Base
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, chilled heavy cream, and sugar until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Dip the Biscuits
Quickly dip each side of the biscuits into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not overly soggy. Allow any excess coffee to drip off.
Layer the Tiramisu
In your serving dish, lay down a layer of the dipped biscuits. Spread a layer of the mascarpone mixture over the biscuits. Repeat the process until you have used all the biscuits and mascarpone mixture, finishing with a layer of the mascarpone on top.
Chill the Tiramisu
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Serve the Tiramisu
Once chilled, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings or grated chocolate if desired. Cut into squares and serve chilled.
