Ingredients
- 6 large egg yolks
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup strong espresso, cooled
- 1/2 cup coffee liqueur
- 20 ladyfinger cookies
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted

Instructions
- 1In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy.

- 8Spread half of the chocolate filling over the mascarpone layer and smooth it out.
- 9Repeat the dipping process with the remaining ladyfingers and place a second layer on top of the chocolate filling.
- 10Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over this layer followed by the remaining chocolate mousse.
- 11Chill the tiramisu in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
- 12Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings.
