Ingredients

• 16 oz Mascarpone cheese
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Pecan praline liqueur
• 1 cup Strong brewed coffee, cooled
• 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 10 oz Shortbread cookies
• 0.5 cups Pecans, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese until smooth and creamy.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

Step 3

Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the mascarpone cheese until fully combined. Set aside.

Step 4

In a shallow dish, mix the pecan praline liqueur, cooled brewed coffee, and ground cinnamon.

Step 5

Dip each shortbread cookie into the coffee-liqueur mixture for about 2-3 seconds, ensuring it's coated but not soggy.

Step 6

Arrange a layer of the dipped cookies into the bottom of a 9x9-inch dish or similarly sized container.

Step 7

Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the cookie layer.

Step 8

Sprinkle half of the finely chopped pecans over the mascarpone layer.

Step 9

Repeat the process with another layer of dipped cookies, followed by the remaining mascarpone cream.

Step 10

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with unsweetened cocoa powder and an additional sprinkle of chopped pecans (optional).

Step 12

Slice and serve chilled.
