Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee

    Brew the espresso coffee and let it cool to room temperature. If desired, mix in the coffee liqueur.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Whip the Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.

  4. 4

    Dip the Ladyfingers

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso for about 1-2 seconds, making sure not to soak them. Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of your serving dish.

  5. 5

    Layer the Mixture

    Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of ladyfingers evenly.

  6. 6

    Repeat Layers

    Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers and then top with the remaining mascarpone mixture, smoothing the top.

  7. 7

    Chill

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight for best results.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder. Cut into squares and enjoy!
