One-In-A-Million Tiramisu

1. 1

   In a chilled bowl with chilled beaters, whip the cream until it just holds firm peaks. In a separate bowl, whip the mascarpone until smooth. Add the confectioner's sugar, 3-4 tablespoons of espresso (if desired), and the vanilla to the mascarpone. In two or three additions, fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, being careful not to overbeat.

2. 2

   Make one layer of Savoiardi in the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch serving dish. Brush generously with espresso. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture onto the savoiardi. Top with a second layer of Savoiardi and brush again with espresso. Set aside any unused savoiardi for another use. Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over the top layer. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably 8 hours or overnight.

3. 3

   Before serving, dust cocoa over the tiramisu.
