# Ingredients:

→ The Coffee Kiss

01 - 1 1/2 cups strong brewed espresso or coffee, cooled
02 - 1/4 cup coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa), optional for adults

→ Velvet Mascarpone Cloud

03 - 16 oz mascarpone cheese, softened at room temperature
04 - 1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
05 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar (confectioners' sugar)
06 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
07 - Pinch of fine sea salt

→ The Ladyfinger Foundation

08 - 1 (7 oz) package Savoiardi ladyfingers (approx. 24-30 cookies)

→ Dusting & Dazzle

09 - 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
10 - 1 oz dark chocolate, shaved, for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Combine 1 1/2 cups strong brewed espresso or coffee (cooled) with 1/4 cup coffee liqueur (if using) in a shallow dish. This "Coffee Kiss" will be the foundation for your Super Easy Tiramisu: The Perfect Lazy Girl Italian Dessert. Set aside.
02 - In a large bowl, beat 1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of fine sea salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in 16 oz softened mascarpone cheese until just combined, creating your "Velvet Mascarpone Cloud."
03 - Working quickly, dip about half of the 1 (7 oz) package Savoiardi ladyfingers into the "Coffee Kiss" mixture, one at a time, for just 1-2 seconds per side. Arrange them in a single layer at the bottom of a 9x13 inch (or similar) serving dish.
04 - Evenly spread half of the "Velvet Mascarpone Cloud" mixture over the dipped "Ladyfinger Foundation" layer. Ensure it covers all the ladyfingers completely. This creamy layer is key to the luscious texture of your Super Easy Tiramisu.
05 - Repeat the dipping process with the remaining ladyfingers and arrange them over the cream. Top with the remaining "Velvet Mascarpone Cloud," smoothing the top. Cover the Super Easy Tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
06 - Just before serving, dust generously with 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder. For extra "Dusting & Dazzle," sprinkle with 1 oz shaved dark chocolate. Slice and serve this delightful "Super Easy Tiramisu: The Perfect Lazy Girl Italian Dessert."

# Notes:

01 - For a bolder coffee flavor, use strong espresso. If using regular coffee, brew it double strength. Decaf works too!
02 - Ensure mascarpone is at room temperature for easy blending, but don't overmix the cream once mascarpone is added, or it might curdle.
03 - Don't rush the chilling! The longer your tiramisu rests, the better the ladyfingers absorb the coffee and the flavors meld, resulting in a perfectly set dessert.
04 - Store leftover tiramisu covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It often tastes even better the next day!
