Ingredients

• 500 grams Mascarpone cheese
• 240 ml Heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons French vanilla extract
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 24 pieces Ladyfinger cookies
• 240 ml Strong espresso coffee
• 60 ml Coffee liqueur (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 30 grams Dark chocolate shavings (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Brew 240 ml of strong espresso coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature. Add 60 ml of coffee liqueur if using, then set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 500 grams of mascarpone cheese, 100 grams of granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons of French vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whip 240 ml of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula until fully combined. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Pour the cooled espresso mixture into a shallow dish. Quickly dip each of the 24 ladyfinger cookies into the espresso, ensuring they soak up coffee without becoming soggy.

Step 5

Layer half of the soaked ladyfinger cookies on the bottom of a 9x13-inch (or similar-sized) dish, arranging them tightly to form an even base.

Step 6

Spread half of the mascarpone-cream mixture evenly over the ladyfinger layer.

Step 7

Repeat with another layer of espresso-dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone-cream mixture.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Before serving, sift 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder evenly over the top. Garnish with 30 grams of dark chocolate shavings if desired.

Step 10

Slice into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy!
