Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup strong brewed espresso or coffee, cooled
- 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 16 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 package (7 ounces) ladyfingers (Savoiardi biscuits)
- Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the coffee mixture: In a shallow bowl, combine the cooled espresso and coffee liqueur, if using. Set aside.
- Make the creamy mascarpone filling: In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened mascarpone cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and fully combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in two additions until just combined and the cream is silky smooth.
- Assemble the dessert: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, turning once. Do not soak them too long or they will become soggy.
- Arrange a single layer of the dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of an 8×8 inch baking dish or a similar sized serving dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers.
- Repeat the process: Dip the remaining ladyfingers and arrange them over the cream layer.
- Spread the remaining mascarpone cream evenly over the second layer of ladyfingers.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set.
- Before serving, dust the top generously with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve. Slice and serve this decadent, creamy dessert.
Notes
- For the best flavor, use high-quality, strong espresso.
- If you skip the coffee liqueur, add 1 teaspoon of dark rum extract to the coffee for depth.
- Chilling time is essential; this allows the ladyfingers to soften properly and the flavors to meld.
- Dust with cocoa powder right before serving to prevent it from absorbing moisture.
