Ingredients

300 ml double cream
200 g pot half-fat creme fraiche
250 g pot mascarpone or mascarpone light
75 ml Baileys or any other coffee liqueur
5 tablespoon caster sugar
300 ml strong coffee made with 2 tablespoon instant coffee granules & 300ml boiling water also see notes below
200 g pack of lady fingers / savoiardi biscuits divided in half
roughly 4 small or 2 large squares of good quality dark chocolate for grating
1 tablespoon cocoa powder

I used rectangular baking dish roughly 24 x 18 cm (9.5 x 7 inch)

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Start by preparing coffee. Set aside and let it cool slightly.
While coffee is cooling prepare mascarpone cream mixture. In a large bowl or in a bowl of your standing mixer put mascarpone, double cream, creme fraiche, sugar and Baileys. Mix together with your hand mixer or balloon attachment of your standing mixer until you get the consistency of thick whipped cream. Take care not to overbeat.
Once your coffee has cooled slightly divide biscuits in half and dip them in it one by one. Let them "drink" the coffee a bit. You should use approx. 150ml / 10 tablespoon for each half of biscuits. Layer the biscuits at the bottom of the dish as you dip them in the coffee. If after dipping your biscuits you still have some coffee leftover (you used less than 150ml / 10 Tbsp) I would suggest to pour it gently over the biscuits using the spoon.
Spread half the mascarpone mixture on top of the first layer of coffee soaked biscuits.
Using fine microplane (or similar) grater, grate the dark chocolate squares over the mascarpone layer.
Follow with another half of lady finger biscuits soaked in coffee and another layer of mascarpone mixture.
Finish with dusting of cocoa powder.
Chill for at least couple of hours but preferably overnight.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Nutritional information is approximate and should be treated as a guideline only.
If you use half or low fat mascarpone cheese the calories and fat content per serving will be lower then the ones stated below.
Instead of instant coffee you can also use 300ml / 1 ¼ cup espresso or strong filtered coffee.
If you don't have any creme fraiche simply increase the amount of double cream to 500ml/2 cups.
Feel free to use grated chocolate on top instead of dusting of cocoa if you prefer.
For non-alcoholic version simply leave the coffee liqueur out. There is no need to substitute it here but you could use equal amount of coffee in place of liqueur.
Tiramisu will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
