- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional)

- In a shallow dish, combine brewed coffee and coffee liqueur (if using).

Use ripe bananas for sweetness and be careful not to overwhip the cream. Allow the tiramisu to chill for full flavor development.
