Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 ml Espresso
- 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 20 grams Dark chocolate (for grating)
- 1 teaspoon Instant espresso powder (optional)
- 6 pieces Ladyfinger biscuits
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder
Instructions
Brew 120 ml of strong espresso and allow it to cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese and sugar together until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture to create a smooth and airy filling.
Break the ladyfinger biscuits into smaller pieces and dip each piece lightly in the cooled espresso. Arrange the soaked biscuits as a base layer in 4 individual serving cups or small glasses.
Layer the mascarpone filling over the soaked biscuits in each cup, ensuring even distribution.
If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of instant espresso powder atop the mascarpone layer for an extra coffee kick.
Repeat with a second layer of soaked biscuits and mascarpone filling, ending with a final layer of mascarpone on top.
Lightly dust cocoa powder over the top layer using a fine mesh sieve, and grate dark chocolate over the cocoa for garnish.
Chill the cups in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled and enjoy your decadent Caffe Macchiato Cups!
