½ cup Espresso coffee
½ cup sugar

4 ounces dark chocolate, shaved or grated
For the icing

¼ teaspoon vanilla essence
2 Tbsp powdered sugar

Prepare the cheese mixture
Add the egg yolks into the coffee mixture and whisk. Add the Mascarpone cheese and whisk until you get a smooth mixture.
Tiramisu assembly
Dip half of the ladyfingers, one at a time, into the reserved coffee mixture (do not over soak). Place them in a pan, one next to the other, until you cover the bottom of the pan. Spread half of the Mascarpone cheese mixture on top of the ladyfingers. Sprinkle the cheese with half of the chocolate mixture. This will finish the first layer.
Repeat the above procedure to complete the second layer.
Bring up the flaps of wax paper. Wrap the pan in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
To prepare the icing
In a mixing bowl, add the whipping cream, vanilla and sugar and whip until stiff.
To serve, remove the wrap from the pan, invert the pan on a serving platter and tap the bottom to remove the cake. Remove the wax paper and spread the icing on top using a spatula. Dust with shaved chocolate and serve.
