In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot and the sugar has dissolved, but do not bring to a boil.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale and slightly thickened.
Slowly whisk about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks to temper them.
Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the cream mixture, whisking continuously.
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, instant espresso powder, and Kahlúa or coffee liqueur until the mascarpone is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove any clumps and let it cool to room temperature. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Once chilled, pour the custard into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes.
During the last few minutes of churning, break the ladyfinger cookies into small pieces and add them to the ice cream.
When the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container.
Sift the cocoa powder evenly over the top of the ice cream.
Cover and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm before serving.
Serve the tiramisu ice cream in bowls or cones, garnished with additional ladyfinger crumbles or a sprinkle of cocoa powder if desired.
