Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee cooled
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 pieces ladyfingers
- cocoa powder for dusting
- chocolate shavings optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Brew the Coffee: Start by brewing one cup of strong coffee and allowing it to cool. Add two tablespoons of sugar to sweeten it to your liking.
- Prepare the Cream Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer to whip the mixture until soft peaks form.
- Assemble the Cups: Dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee for a second or two—just long enough to soak them without becoming mushy. Layer soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of your serving cups.
- Add the Mascarpone Mixture: Spoon a generous layer of the creamy mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat the soaking and layering process until the cups are filled. Typically, 2-3 layers work best, depending on the size of your cups.
- Chill: Once assembled, place the cups in the fridge for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and add chocolate shavings if desired.
