Method

Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare Coffee

Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool to room temperature.

2

Mix Mascarpone

In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until smooth and creamy.

3

Soak Ladyfingers

Dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee for about 1-2 seconds, making sure not to soak them too long.

4

Layer Ingredients

In a rectangular dish, create a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.

5

Repeat Layers

Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers on top of the mascarpone layer, then spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over it.

6

Chill

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

7

Serve

Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and decorate with dark chocolate shavings if desired.
