Ingredients

1 ½ cups white sugar
1 ½ cups boiling water
1 cup brewed coffee
½ cup vanilla citrus liqueur (tuaca)
2 cups powdered sugar
1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese
¼ cup vanilla citrus liqueur (tuaca)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups whipping cream
1 (14 ounce) package ladyfinger cookies
1 tablespoon grated semisweet chocolate

Steps:

Start syrup: Combine white sugar and boiling water in a medium bowl; stir until sugar dissolves. Set aside.
Prepare filling: Combine powdered sugar, mascarpone cheese, 1/4 cup tuaca, and vanilla extract in a bowl; whip with the whisk attachment of an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add whipping cream and whip until soft peaks form.
Continue syrup: Mix coffee and tuaca into the sugar-water mixture.
Assemble tiramisu: Line the bottom of a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with ladyfingers. Pour 1/2 of the syrup over top, then layer with 1/2 of the filling. Add another layer of ladyfingers and cover with remaining syrup and filling. Smooth with the back of a spoon and sprinkle with grated chocolate. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
