## Dietary Information
This recipe is: Vegetarian, Nut-Free

## Ingredients (8 servings)
- 500 gram Mascarpone cheese
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 24 pieces Ladyfingers
- 2 cup Strong brewed coffee or espresso
- 2 tablespoon Cocoa powder (for dusting)

## Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine 500 grams of mascarpone cheese, 0.5 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat the mascarpone mixture until smooth. Gradually pour in 1 cup of heavy cream while continuing to beat until the mixture is thick and forms stiff peaks.
3. Brew 2 cups of strong coffee or espresso and let it cool slightly.
4. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee, ensuring it's soaked but not soggy. Arrange a single layer of the dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of a square or rectangular baking dish.
5. Spread half of the prepared cream mixture evenly over the first layer of ladyfingers.
6. Create a second layer by dipping and arranging the remaining ladyfingers over the cream layer.
7. Spread the remaining cream mixture over the second layer of ladyfingers, smoothing the top.
8. Optionally, pipe small dollops of cream on top for decoration. Using a sifter or tea strainer, dust generously with 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder.
9. Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set and flavors to meld.
