A delightful twist on the classic tiramisu, this recipe combines creamy layers with a rich coffee flavor for a dessert that's both simple and indulgent.
In a mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Ensure the mascarpone is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Prepare the coffee and let it cool slightly.
Use freshly brewed coffee for the best flavor.
Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the coffee and arrange them in a single layer at the bottom of the springform pan.
Avoid soaking the ladyfingers for too long to prevent them from becoming too soggy.
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers evenly.
Use a spatula to smooth the layer for an even finish.
Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
Press gently to compact the layers slightly.
Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder.
Use a fine sieve for an even dusting of cocoa powder.
