Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Instant coffee powder
- 2 tablespoons Hot water
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Mascarpone cheese
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 12 pieces Ladyfingers (savoiardi biscuits)
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate (optional, grated for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee powder in the hot water. Set aside to cool.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip 1 cup of heavy cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Set this whipped cream aside in the refrigerator.
In a separate bowl, whisk together mascarpone cheese, the remaining 0.5 cup of heavy cream, vanilla extract, and the cooled coffee mixture. Beat this until smooth and creamy.
Fold half of the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined. Reserve the remaining whipped cream for topping.
Pour the whole milk into a shallow dish. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the milk and line the bottom of your serving dish or individual glasses with a single layer of soaked ladyfingers.
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers evenly.
Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers on top, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture.
Smooth the top layer and refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to set.
Before serving, spread or pipe the reserved whipped cream on top. Dust generously with unsweetened cocoa powder and garnish with grated dark chocolate, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
