Prepare the Lady Fingers
In a shallow dish, combine the almond liqueur and water. Quickly dip the lady fingers into the mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not overly soggy. Layer the soaked lady fingers at the bottom of a serving dish.

Make the Cream
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract until pale and creamy. Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg mixture until well combined.

Layer the Cream
Spread the cream mixture over the layer of lady fingers evenly. Repeat the process if you have more lady fingers and cream, creating multiple layers.
