Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Espresso

    Brew a cup of strong espresso and allow it to cool to room temperature.

  2. 2

    Make the Mascarpone Mixture

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

  3. 3

    Soak the Ladyfingers

    Dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso for about 1-2 seconds, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.

  4. 4

    Layer the Ingredients

    In a rectangular dish, create a layer of soaked ladyfingers, followed by a layer of the mascarpone mixture. Repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with the mascarpone mixture on top.

  5. 5

    Chill

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and optionally sprinkle with grated dark chocolate.
