1. 1Prepare the coffee. Brew the coffee, add a teaspoon of sugar, stir until dissolved and leave to cool.
2. 2Separate the eggs. Carefully separate the yolks from the whites using the eggshell, making sure the yolks don't break or mix with the whites.
3. 3Make the cream. Beat the yolks with the sugar, preferably using an electric whisk, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is creamy. Add the mascarpone and mix.
4. 4Whip the egg whites. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks and the whisk leaves clear trails. Gently fold them into the mascarpone cream.
5. 5Assemble the tiramisu. Cover the bottom of the serving dish with a layer of cream. Dip the biscuits very quickly into the cold coffee so they don't become soggy, then arrange them side by side. Add another layer of cream, another of biscuits, and finish with cream. Dust with cocoa using a sieve.
6. 6Chill. Leave in the fridge for 2 to 4 hours. Dust with cocoa again just before serving.
