Assembling The Tiramisu

Begin by lightly dipping the ladyfingers in the coffee. Make sure not to over-dip them otherwise they'll be soggy. Layer them in 1 even layer in the bottom of a 9x13 pan.

Spread half of the chocolate mascarpone cream on top of the soaked ladyfingers, making sure to spread it around evenly.

Now, add the remaining chocolate ganache on top of the cream. You should have ½-¾ cup remaining. Swirl your pan around to get it to spread around evenly.
