1
Brew the Espresso
Brew 240 ml of strong espresso coffee and let it cool. If desired, mix in 60 ml of coffee liqueur.

2
Separate the Eggs
Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites and place them in separate bowls.
3
Whisk the Egg Yolks
In the bowl with the egg yolks, add 100 g of granulated sugar and whisk until the mixture is pale and creamy.
4
Add Mascarpone and Vanilla
Add 500 g of mascarpone cheese and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the egg yolk mixture and mix until smooth.
5
Whip the Egg Whites
In the bowl with the egg whites, whisk until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.

6
Dip the Ladyfingers
Quickly dip each ladyfinger cookie into the cooled espresso mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
7
Layer the Ingredients
In a rectangular dish, place a layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
8
Repeat the Layers
Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture on top.

9
Refrigerate
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
10
Garnish and Serve
Before serving, dust the top with 30 g of cocoa powder and add dark chocolate shavings if desired.
