A decadent twist on the classic tiramisu, combining layers of rich espresso mousse and coffee-soaked ladyfingers, topped with a luxurious chocolate layer.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy.
Add mascarpone cheese to the egg mixture and mix until smooth and well combined.
In another bowl, beat the heavy cream to stiff peaks and then gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture.
In a shallow dish, combine cooled espresso and coffee liqueur.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Layer half of the dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x9 inch dish.
Spread half of the mascarpone and egg mixture over the ladyfingers evenly.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, then cool slightly before folding it into the remaining mascarpone mixture.
Spread half of the chocolate filling over the mascarpone layer and smooth it out.
Repeat the dipping process with the remaining ladyfingers and place a second layer on top of the chocolate filling.
Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over this layer followed by the remaining chocolate mousse.
Chill the tiramisu in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings.
