Here’s how you can whip up your own Earl Grey Tiramisu in a few easy steps:

1. Brew the Tea: Brew a cup of Earl Grey tea and let it cool. If using bergamot syrup, mix it in after brewing.
2. Prepare the Cream Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until you achieve soft peaks.
3. Dip the Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled Earl Grey tea. Be careful not to soak them too long.
4. Layer the Ingredients: In a rectangular or square dish, place a layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom.
5. Add the Cream: Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing it out evenly.
6. Repeat the Layers: Repeat the dipping of ladyfingers and layering of cream until all ingredients are used, finishing with a cream layer on top.
7. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
8. Serve: Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
