Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream chilled
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup strong espresso or coffee
  • 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur optional
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 12 ladyfinger cookies
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Method
 

  1. Brew espresso and stir in 2 tablespoons sugar and liqueur (if using). Cool to room temperature.
  2. Whip cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form; refrigerate.
  3. Mix mascarpone, 1/3 cup sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Fold whipped cream gently into mascarpone mixture to create light cream.
  5. Dip ladyfingers quickly (1-2 seconds) into cooled espresso mixture.
  6. Layer dipped ladyfingers and cream in serving cups, finishing with cream on top.
  7. Cover and chill 4-8 hours (overnight preferred).
  8. Dust with cocoa powder just before serving.

Notes

Dip ladyfingers quickly to prevent sogginess. For best results, chill overnight to allow flavors to meld completely.
