1 cup mascarpone cheese (let it soften first)

→ To Build Layers
08 -
Unsweetened cocoa powder (light dusting)
09 -
Savoiardi biscuits (ladyfingers)
10 -
Optional: Dark chocolate curls for garnish
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by beating the heavy cream along with the vanilla and powdered sugar until it's fluffy and forms peaks (about 3-4 minutes). Next, smooth out the mascarpone by whisking it and gently fold it into the whipped cream.
02 -
Stir together the cooled coffee, sugar (if using), and liqueur in a wide dish. Mix until everything combines well.
03 -
Dip the ladyfingers quickly into the coffee mixture and arrange them snugly at the bottom of your serving cups—try fitting one or two per cup.
04 -
Use a spoon or piping bag to layer the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Smooth it out with a spoon or spatula for an even surface.
05 -
Keep stacking soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cream as many times as you like.
06 -
Sprinkle some cocoa powder over the top layer and optionally add chocolate shavings for an extra touch.
07 -
Pop the cups into the fridge and let them set for at least 2 hours, or even overnight. Dust with more cocoa before serving, if you’d like.
# Notes:
01 -
Tastes better if chilled overnight
02 -
Skip the liqueur if you'd rather have it alcohol-free
03 -
Be careful not to soak biscuits too long—they’ll get soggy
