250g mascarpone cheese
300ml whipping cream
200 espresso coffee
30g Cocoa powder
Equipment
Electric mixer
Measuring cup

Directions
Add the espresso coffee to a cup of boiling water, stir and set aside to cool down.
Beat the whipping cream using an electric mixer until it holds stiff peaks.
Add the mascarpone cheese and icing sugar and beat again until well combined.
Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee (soaked, not soggy) and ensure it holds its shape.
Add a little mascarpone mixture in the rectangular container and arrange the ladyfingers on top in a close single layer.
Spread the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers evenly and to the sides of the container to cover the edges. Smooth out the mixture on top of the ladyfingers using a spatula.
Sprinkle cocoa powder on top of the mascarpone mixture.
Repeat steps 4-7 with the remaining half of the ladyfingers.
Once done, wrap the Tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 5 hours or ideally overnight.
