Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled

Prepare the Cream Mixture: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
Dip the Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
Layer the Cake: In a rectangular dish, arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom. Spread a layer of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of the cream mixture on top.
Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Serve: Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings if desired. Slice and enjoy your delicious Tiramisu Icebox Cake!
