Ingredients

• 3 large egg yolks
• 1 cup powdered sugar (120g)
• 2 + 1/4 cups mascarpone (500g)
• 36 ladyfingers (hard ones)
• 1/2 cup strong coffee (120ml)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (21g)

Instructions

1. 

   In a large mixing bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat egg yolks and sugar on medium-high speed until white and creamy and sugar is completely dissolved, for about 2-3 minutes. Add mascarpone and mix until smooth and creamy, for about 2-3 minutes.
2. Dip ladyfingers on both sides very quickly into coffee and arrange about 12 ladyfingers on the bottom of a 9x7x3 or 8x8x3 inches casserole. Spread about 1/3 of the mascarpone cream on top. Repeat two more times ending up with a layer of mascarpone cream on top. 
3. Wrap casserole with plastic wrap tightly that no air or smell from the fridge can go inside the Tiramisu. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. Dust with cocoa on top just before serving. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 2 days.

Notes
