Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Ladyfingers (savoiardi)
- 240 ml Strong brewed coffee
- 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 240 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Instant espresso powder
- 20 grams Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
Brew 240 ml of strong coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream and sugar together until soft peaks form. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, and instant espresso powder. Gently fold in the whipped cream mixture until smooth and creamy. Do not overmix.
Pour the cooled coffee into a shallow dish. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy.
Arrange the moistened ladyfingers in a single layer at the bottom of a serving dish or dessert glasses.
Spread half of the mascarpone mousse evenly over the ladyfingers.
Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone mousse.
Dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine sieve.
Optional: Garnish with dark chocolate shavings for added texture and flavor.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
