Indulge in the ultimate dessert experience with this Five Star Tiramisu, a no-bake classic Italian treat that combines rich layers of creamy mascarpone, espresso-soaked ladyfingers, and a dusting of cocoa for a luxurious finish.

With just 30 minutes of prep time and an overnight chill to enhance the flavors, this elegant tiramisu is an impressive yet simple make-ahead dessert perfect for dinner parties or special occasions. Serve chilled, topped with a delicate sprinkle of dark chocolate for an extra gourmet touch.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar together until the mixture is pale and creamy. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth and creamy.
Fold the egg yolk mixture into the mascarpone cheese until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in batches, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Set the cream layer aside.
Prepare the espresso and allow it to cool slightly. If using coffee liqueur, mix it with the espresso.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture, ensuring they are coated but not soggy. Arrange a single layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x13-inch (or similarly sized) dish.
Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
Repeat the process by creating another layer of espresso-soaked ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone cream mixture.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Before serving, sift unsweetened cocoa powder evenly over the top layer. Optionally, sprinkle grated dark chocolate over the cocoa for added elegance.
Slice the tiramisu into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy!
