Ingredients:

For the tiramisu roll:

• Ladyfingers (Savoiardi), enough to form two parallel rows
• Sweet coffee, enough to soak ladyfingers in
• Cocoa powder (sweetened or unsweetened) for dusting

For the mascarpone cream:

• 240 g mascarpone
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 egg yolks (optional)
• 1 teaspoon of honey
• 2 tablespoons sweetened whipping cream

Instructions:

1. Prepare the base:
   • Lay out a piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Sprinkle it with cocoa powder (sweetened or unsweetened, depending on your preference).
   • Dip the ladyfingers into the sweetened coffee, making sure they are well-soaked but not soggy. Line up the soaked ladyfingers in two parallel rows on the cocoa-dusted plastic wrap.
2. Prepare the mascarpone cream:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone, granulated sugar, egg yolks (if using), honey and whipping cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.
   • Spread an even layer of mascarpone cream over the arranged ladyfingers.
   • Dust the cream layer with a light pinch of cocoa powder.
3. Roll the tiramisu:
   • Using the plastic wrap as a guide, gently roll up the ladyfingers starting from the long side, creating a tight roll. Make sure the seam is on the bottom to keep the roll intact.
   • Wrap the tiramisu roll tightly in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, letting it set.
4. Serve:
   • Once cooled, unwrap the tiramisu roll and cut it into equal pieces.
   • Serve chilled, dusted with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings if desired.
