   • In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks and caster sugar. Beat with electric mixers until the mixture becomes pale and thick.

2. Incorporate Mascarpone:

   • Add the mascarpone cheese to the egg mixture and beat until well combined. Some marbling is okay; it adds to the texture.

3. Whip the Cream:

   • In a separate bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula, ensuring not to deflate the cream.

4. Beat Egg Whites:

   • In another clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. It’s crucial that the bowl and beaters are clean and dry for optimal whipping.

5. Incorporate Egg Whites:

   • Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the mascarpone-cream mixture, preserving as much air as possible to keep the texture light and airy.

6. Assemble the Tiramisu:

   • For a Large Dish:
     • Combine the cooled espresso coffee with any desired liqueur in a bowl.
     • Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are well soaked but not soggy.
     • Layer the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish.
     • Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
     • Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and finish with the remaining mascarpone mixture.
     • Smooth the top surface and dust generously with cocoa powder.
     • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours, to allow flavors to meld.
   • For Individual Glasses:
     • Break the ladyfingers into pieces that fit into your serving glasses.
     • Follow the same dipping and layering process as for the large dish, alternating soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
     • Finish with a dusting of cocoa powder on the top layer.
     • Refrigerate as instructed for the large dish.

7. Serve:

   • Once chilled and set, serve the tiramisu directly from the dish or glasses. Enjoy the creamy, coffee-infused layers with friends and family!
