🥣 Instructions:

1. Prepare the cream mixture:

   • In a bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar together over a double boiler (or in a heatproof bowl over simmering water) for about 5–8 minutes, until pale and slightly thickened. Let cool.

   • In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

   • Gently fold the mascarpone into the cooled egg mixture until smooth.

   • Fold in the whipped cream carefully—do not overmix.

2. Assemble the tiramisu:

   • Combine the coffee and liqueur (if using) in a shallow dish.

   • Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee—do not soak.

   • Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers in a 9x9-inch (23x23cm) dish.

   • Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.

   • Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining cream.

3. Chill:

   • Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.

4. Serve:

   • Just before serving, dust with cocoa powder and add chocolate shavings if desired.
