• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 package ladyfingers (24 count)

4. Add one-third of the Mascarpone cream mixture and spread it evenly over the pears.
5. Repeat the layers of soaked ladyfingers, sliced pears and Mascarpone cream mixture until the dish is full. Finish off with a layer of Mascarpone cream on the top.
6. Dust the top layer of the tiramisu with cocoa powder just before serving.
