Step 1

Into a heavy saucepan, add espresso, 1/2 c of sugar, 1/4 c of coffee liqueur and bring to a simmer over medium high heat. Whisk until sugar dissolves, 3 to 4 mins. Remove pan from heat and let the syrup cool.

Transfer mixture to another bowl and clean and dry mixer bowl and attachment. Put cream in mixer bowl and whip until peaks form. Gently fold the cream mixture into marsala mixture.
Assemble:
Dip ladyfingers in espresso syrup and arrange a layer in the bottom of a 12x8 inch pan. Spoon a layer of cream over the ladyfingers. Dip and arrange another layer of ladyfingers over the cream over the top. Dust tiramisu with cocoa. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Spoon out portions into small bowls to serve.
