Prepare a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan. Dip and roll each Savoiardi into the cooled coffee mixture for 5 seconds. Place 7 of them in a single layer in the loaf pan. Spread about 1/3 the mascarpone cream evenly over the dipped Savoiardi. Smooth the top with a spatula. Repeat 2 more times with the dipped Savoiardi and the mascarpone cream. Cover the pan with aluminum foil. Refrigerate for 24 hours. Sprinkle cocoa powder on top of the Tiramisu before serving.
