Creating an incredible Cafe Latte Tiramisu is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Coffee: Brew your coffee or espresso and allow it to cool. Mix in the coffee liqueur if using.
2. Whisk Egg Yolks: In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is pale and creamy.
3. Add Mascarpone: Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese into the egg mixture until smooth and well combined.
4. Whip Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
5. Combine Mixtures: Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated.
6. Dip Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee mixture, ensuring they’re soaked but not soggy.
7. Layer the Desserts: In a baking dish, create a layer of soaked ladyfingers, followed by a generous layer of the mascarpone mixture. Repeat with a second layer.
8. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor.
9. Dust with Cocoa: Before serving, dust the top liberally with cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings if desired.

By following these steps, you’ll end up with a stunning Cafe Latte Tiramisu that is not only delicious but also a feast for the eyes.
