For making tiramisu
  1. Beat the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
  2. Beat mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract and sugar until creamy and smooth. Mix with the whipped cream and beat lightly for a smooth consistency.
  3. Combine the alcohol with cooled coffee. Keep everything ready near the baking dish to layer.
  4. Dip the ladyfingers biscuits in the coffee-alochol mix and arrange evenly on your baking dish . Do not soak the biscuits; quickly dip and take it out from the coffee, else it will become soggy.

  5. Spread a layer of the prepared cream mix on top of the biscuits.
  6. Repeat steps 4 & 5 on top of the cream layer, to create another layer of biscuits and cream thereby filling your baking dish its brim.
  7. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 5-6 hrs.
  8. Dust with cocoa powder before serving.
Notes

1. If not available in your local grocery store, ladyfinger biscuits can be found in World Market, any international grocery store, or at Amazon. Nila Biscuits found at Walmart and other local stores is a very good substitute too.

2. You can refrigerate tiramisu for up to 2 days. Do not freeze.

3. Any coffee liquor, dessert wine, rum or brandy can be used for making tiramisu, or you can skip it altogether if you prefer alcohol-free.
