    Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso mixture and lay them in a single layer in a dish.

    Add the Cream Mixture

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

    Repeat Layers

    Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture.
