Ingredients
Method
- Step 1: In a shallow bowl, combine the brewed coffee and coffee liqueur (if using). Set it aside to allow the flavors to mingle.
- Step 2: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Step 3: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
- Step 4: In serving cups or glasses, layer the dipped ladyfingers at the bottom.
- Step 5: Add a layer of the mascarpone mixture on top of the ladyfingers.
- Step 6: Repeat the layers until the cups are filled, ending with a layer of the mascarpone mixture.
- Step 7: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
- Step 8: Before serving, dust the tops with unsweetened cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings if desired.
Notes
These delightful cups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just make sure to cover them well to keep the flavors fresh!
