Steps:

• Stir 1 tablespoon of the espresso powder into the coffee liqueur in a liquid measuring cup until dissolved. Set aside.
• Combine the mascarpone and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on low speed until just combined, about 15 seconds. With the mixer on low, slowly pour in the liqueur-espresso mixture followed by the cream and continue to whip until all the liquid is incorporated. Increase the mixer to medium speed and continue to whip until the mascarpone-cream mixture reaches a medium-stiff peak, about 1 minute. Set aside.
• Stir together the vodka, granulated sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons espresso powder and 3/4 cup hot water in a small bowl until the sugar and espresso powder are dissolved.
• Fill the bottom third of each of four 7- to 7 1/2-ounce martini glasses with some of the mascarpone cream and smooth with the back of a spoon. Dip 1 ladyfinger half at a time into the espresso mixture for 2 seconds per side, until soaked but not soggy. Arrange 2 soaked ladyfinger halves over the cream in each glass. Spoon more mascarpone cream on top of the ladyfingers to fill the next third of the glass and smooth with the back of the spoon. Individually dip 3 more ladyfinger halves for 2 seconds per side and arrange on top of the mascarpone cream. Top each martini glass off with the remaining mascarpone cream. Use a small offset spatula to smooth and level off the tops of each glass. Loosely cover each glass with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours.
• Remove the martini glasses from the refrigerator. Place a small square of parchment over half of a glass. Sift a generous amount of the cocoa powder through a fine-mesh sieve over the exposed half. Remove the parchment. Repeat with the remaining 3 glasses. Serve with 3 chocolate-covered espresso beans in the center of each glass.

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch-square baking dish with plastic wrap, leaving a 3-inch overhang on all sides. Fill a large bowl with ice water.
• Make the custard: Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) until the sugar dissolves. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook, whisking constantly, until the custard is light and foamy, about 10 minutes (a thermometer inserted into the mixture should register 170 degrees F).
• Remove the bowl from the saucepan and set in the bowl of ice water; whisk until the custard is cool, about 1 minute. Put the mascarpone in a large bowl. Fold the custard into the mascarpone with a rubber spatula until almost combined, then whisk until just smooth (do not overmix or the custard will be grainy).
• Combine the espresso and brandy in a shallow bowl. One at a time, dip the ladyfingers in the espresso mixture until soaked but not soggy; arrange 2 rows of about 5 biscuits each in the baking dish. Spread one-third of the mascarpone custard over the ladyfingers. Repeat with a second layer of espresso-dipped ladyfingers, arranging them in the opposite direction. Top with another one-third of the custard. Repeat with the remaining ladyfingers, alternating directions. Spread the remaining custard on top and dust with the cocoa powder. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 4 hours, or overnight.
• Invert a plate on top of the tiramisu, then flip the tiramisu with the plate. Remove the baking dish and plastic wrap. Invert a serving plate on top of the tiramisu and flip again so it is cocoa-side up. Remove the remaining plastic wrap. Shave curls of chocolate on top with a vegetable peeler.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a cocktail shaker over ice - shake well.
• Serve chilled straight up in a martini glass.

Steps:

• In large bowl, beat first 5 ingredients until soft peaks form (about 3 minutes).
• In small bowl, beat 1 cup whipping cream, vanilla and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until soft peaks form (about 2-3 minutes).
• To Serve: Place 1 teaspoon Kahlua in the bottom of each of 6 martini glasses. Remove top half of ladyfingers from package, keeping them attached.
• Separate ladyfingers into sets of two, keep each set attached. Place one set of two, upside down, over the Kahlua in each glass. Make sure ladyfingers do not touch Kahlua, so Kahlua is not absorbed (ends of ladyfingers should curve up the sides of glass slightly).
• Carefully spoon 1/2 cup mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers in each glass, smoothing around in glass. Top with a dollop of whipped cream. Separate the remaining ladyfingers. Fan a set of two and stand up next to edge of each glass slightly pushing ends into mascarpone mixture. Dust with cocoa.
• Desserts may be made up to 2 hours ahead and chilled.
