Leonardo Romanelli's Illustrated Tiramisu

Line the Dish with Savoiardi

Put the coffee in a bowl, diluting it some if you used espresso. Some people also add a shot of brandy or similar to the coffee; you can or not as you prefer.

Dip the savoiardi for a few seconds in the coffee mixture (you want them moist but not dripping) and use them to line a baking dish. When you have finished lining the dish, spread half the mascarpone cream over the savoiardi.
