Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee

    Brew the espresso coffee and let it cool. If desired, stir in the coffee liqueur for added flavor.

  2. 2

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with half of the granulated sugar until soft peaks form. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Mix Mascarpone

    In another bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, remaining sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.

  5. 5

    Dip the Ladyfingers

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso, making sure not to soak them. Lay them in a single layer in a serving dish.

  6. 6

    Layer the Mixture

    Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  7. 7

    Chill

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

  8. 8

    Serve
