Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Spread half of the mascarpone-cream mixture evenly over the ladyfinger layer.
Repeat with another layer of espresso-dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone-cream mixture.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, sift 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder evenly over the top. Garnish with 30 grams of dark chocolate shavings if desired.
Slice into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy!
