Instructions
Mix. Combine the softened Mascarpone cheese, the cream cheese, and 1 cup sugar in your mixer's bowl; using an electric mixer, mix until creamy and smooth, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add Frangelico and continue to mix just until combined.
Prep the heavy cream. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the chilled heavy cream and 1 tablespoon sugar; beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until it just holds stiff peaks.
Combine. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until combined.
Layer. Spread about 1/4-cup of the mascarpone mixture on the bottom of a 9x13 glass baking dish. This is just to hold the ladyfingers in place. Layer half of the ladyfingers over the mixture.
Add coffee. Generously brush the ladyfingers with half of the espresso or coffee; let stand for 5 minutes.
Top with the cheese mixture. Take half of the prepared mascarpone mixture and spread it over the ladyfingers. Then, sprinkle the chocolate shavings over it.
Continue to layer. Layer the remaining ladyfingers. Generously brush the ladyfingers with half of the espresso/coffee; let stand 5 minutes. Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
Make the flag. Position the blueberries in the top left corner of the tiramisu to form the blue portion of the flag. Arrange the sliced strawberries in horizontal lines across the tiramisu, leaving about 1 inch between each row, to form the stripes.
Chill, then serve. Cover and refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours; overnight is best. Slice and serve.
