Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225 g) mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240 ml) cold heavy cream
- 1/3 cup (65 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240 ml) strong brewed espresso or coffee, cooled
- 2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional, can substitute with 1 tsp vanilla extract for kid-friendly version)
- 24 ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi)
- Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Brew 1 cup (240 ml) of strong espresso or coffee. Let it cool completely, then stir in 2 tablespoons of coffee liqueur or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract if skipping alcohol. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, pour 1 cup (240 ml) cold heavy cream and add 1/3 cup (65 g) granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, gently stir 8 oz (225 g) softened mascarpone cheese with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula, keeping the mixture light and airy.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee mixture for 1-2 seconds on each side to soak without sogginess. Arrange a single layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) dish.
- Spoon half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Add a second layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers, then top with the remaining mascarpone cream and smooth it out gently.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Right before serving, sift a generous layer of unsweetened cocoa powder over the top.
Notes
Use quick dips of ladyfingers in coffee to avoid sogginess. Keep cream and mascarpone cold for easier folding. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Substitute mascarpone with cream cheese blended with heavy cream if needed. For gluten-free, use gluten-free ladyfingers or sponge cake.
