Combine espresso and butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water.
Place dark chocolate pieces in the espresso mixture, cook without stirring until chocolate starts to melt, about 3 minutes. Whisk chocolate and espresso mixture until well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

Stir mascarpone cheese into marsala mixture.
Combine chocolate mixture with mascarpone mixture. Cool to room temperature.
Whip heavy cream in a bowl until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
Fold half of whipped cream into cooled chocolate mixture.
Fold second half of whipped cream into chocolate mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Recipe Note

Tiramisu translates to pick-me-up. Considering that this popular Italian dessert is spiked with proven mood-elevators such as coffee, cocoa, sugar, and alcohol, the name seems to fit perfectly.
