To assemble the Tiramisu

I like to use parfait or Pilsner glasses for this dessert. Place all of the glasses on a flat work surface. Cut out cake circles that will fit into the size glass your using. Using a ladle, place a small amount of Mascarpone cream in the glass, dip a cake circle in the soaking liquid (squeeze out any excess) and place on top of the cream. Ladle more cream on top of the circle, place another soaked circle of cake and finish with a layer of cream. Repeat this with all of the glasses. Refrigerate for about an hour or until set.

Decorate with grated milk chocolate and sifted cocoa.
