Tiramisu Charlotte

According to wikipedia:

Tiramisu (from the Italian language, spelled tiramisù [ˌtiramiˈsu], meaning “pick me up” or “cheer me up”)[1] is a coffee-flavoured Italian dessert. It is made of ladyfingers (savoiardi) dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar, and mascarpone cheese, flavoured with cocoa. The recipe has been adapted into many varieties of cakes and other desserts.[2] Its origins are often disputed among Italian regions of Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
