Ingredients

• 24 pieces Ladyfingers
• 1.5 cups Espresso or strong brewed coffee
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 16 ounces Mascarpone cheese
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Coffee liqueur (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the espresso or strong coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature. If using, mix in the coffee liqueur for added depth of flavor.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale, thick, and creamy (about 3–5 minutes of whisking by hand or 2 minutes with an electric mixer).

Step 3

Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese to the egg yolk mixture until smooth and well combined. Ensure no lumps remain.

Step 4

In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.

Step 5

Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in two batches, ensuring a light and airy consistency.

Step 6

Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee mixture. Do not soak them for too long as they may become too soggy.

Step 7

Arrange a single layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x9-inch dish or a similar-sized serving dish.

Step 8

Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers. Use a spatula to level and smooth the layer.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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

Step 11

Before serving, dust the top with a generous layer of unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve. Optionally, garnish with chocolate shavings or espresso beans.
