Once you reached the right consistency, add the other part of the mixture containing the egg yolks and mascarpone.

Pour everything into a sac à poche and put it in the fridge to rest.
5. Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar with the coffee liqueur and with the iced coffee to make the syrup that will be used to soak the ladyfingers-type biscuits.
6.  Assemble your tiramisu: take a small baking dish and spread a layer of cold cream inside it, then cover it with a layer of ladyfingers soaked in the syrup.
7. Cover with another layer of cream, then with one of ladyfingers and so on until all the ingredients are used up. Put the cake in the fridge for at least two hours.
