Soak ladyfingers in coffee while you cook the filling.
Mix cheese, egg yolks, and sugar in a bowl or you can use a blender.
Prepare small cups or bowls for tiramisu. Put ladyfingers first on the bottom to create the first layer. Top with cream cheese mixture. Repeat the layers to the top.
Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. Serve topped with cocoa powder.

You might like to add a splash of liqueur to the espresso before soaking the ladyfingers. It’s delicious without, but if you fancy adding some coffee liqueur, marsala wine, dark rum, or cognac, go ahead.
Use fresh ingredients. If you use mascarpone, cream, or eggs close to their expiry date, these ingredients might separate in the dessert.
Let the mascarpone sit on the counter for 15 minutes before using it. If it’s too warm or too cold, it can curdle.
Too much soaking will make the ladyfingers soggy. You can dip them briefly in the espresso or even brush it over them.
If you prefer, you can make this in one medium size dish rather than in 3 small ones. If you want to make it in a 9x13-inch dish, multiply the ingredients by two.
