You can make it ahead, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully overnight, ensuring a seamless and delicious end to any gathering.
Brew a strong pot of espresso and let it cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of mascarpone cheese, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until smooth and creamy.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso, ensuring they are soaked but not falling apart.
In a 9x9 inch baking dish, lay a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom.
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers on top of the mascarpone layer.
Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over the second layer of ladyfingers.
Dust the top with an even layer of unsweetened cocoa powder.
Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Before serving, garnish with dark chocolate shavings if desired.
