Why You’ll Love This Tiramisu:

• No-Bake: Simple to make, no oven required.
  
• Quick: Ready in under 30 minutes (chill time included).
  
• Romantic & Delicious: A classic dessert that always impresses.
  

Ingredients:

• 1 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
  
• 1 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
  
• 24 ladyfinger cookies
  
• 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  
• 1 cup heavy cream
  
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
• Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
  

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Coffee Mixture:
   In a shallow dish, mix the cooled coffee with the coffee liqueur (if using). Set aside.
   
   
2. Make the Cream Mixture:
   In a large bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
   
   
3. Assemble the Layers:
   Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture (don’t soak them—just a quick dip). Layer the dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish (9x9 or individual cups work great).
   
   
4. Layer the Cream:
   Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing it evenly.
   
   
5. Repeat:
   Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone cream.
   
   
6. Chill & Finish:
   Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is best). Before serving, dust with unsweetened cocoa powder.
   
   

Tools You’ll Need:

A whisk for mixing the cream, a shallow dish for dipping the ladyfingers, and a serving dish to layer everything in. A fine mesh sieve works great for dusting cocoa powder on top.
