Tiramisu, which translates to "pick-me-up" in Italian, is a classic dessert that's sure to lift your spirits. This creamy, coffee-infused treat consists of layers of ladyfingers soaked in espresso and liqueur, separated by a rich mascarpone cheese mixture. In this recipe, we'll guide you through the process of making Tiramisu at home, and provide you with its nutritional values.

Ingredients:

For the ladyfingers:

- 12-16 ladyfingers

For the espresso syrup:

- 1 cup strong brewed espresso

For the mascarpone cream:

- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions:

1. Make the espresso syrup: In a small bowl, whisk together the espresso, cocoa powder, sugar, and rum (if using). Set aside.

2. Dip the ladyfingers: Dip each ladyfinger into the espresso syrup for about 3-5 seconds on each side. They should be soft and pliable but not too wet.

3. Prepare the mascarpone cream: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

4. Assemble the Tiramisu: In a large serving dish, create a layer of ladyfingers. You may need to trim them to fit the dish.
