Ingrédients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 24-30 pieces Ladyfingers or savoiardi
  • 16 ounces Mascarpone cheese, chilled
  • 1.5 cups Heavy whole cream with at least 36 percent fat Important for texture
  • 0.5 cups Granulated sugar, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups Espresso or strong coffee, cooled
  • to taste Cocoa powder for dusting
  • 1-2 tablespoons Optional coffee liqueur For added flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Whip the whole cream to soft peaks.
  2. Add sugar and vanilla, then whip just to medium peaks. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, gently loosen the mascarpone with a spatula until smooth. Do not overmix.
  4. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone in two additions until silky and unified.
  5. Combine cooled espresso with liqueur if using.
  6. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee for 1 to 2 seconds per side.
  7. Layer half the ladyfingers in a dish. Spread half the cream on top. Repeat with a second layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining cream.
  8. Dust generously with cocoa powder.
  9. Chill for at least 1 hour, ideally 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

Use cold mascarpone so it stays thick and creamy. Dip ladyfingers quickly to avoid sogginess. Chill long enough for flavors to marry and layers to set. A small metal sieve can help achieve a professional look for cocoa dusting.
