Ingredients
Scale
Espresso
- 1 cup freshly brewed espresso
Mascarpone Cheese
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
Heavy Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
Ladyfingers
- 24 ladyfingers
Cocoa Powder
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Chocolate Liqueur
- 1/4 cup chocolate liqueur
Sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
Instructions
- Brew the Espresso: Start by brewing a strong cup of espresso. Allow it to cool slightly before using it in the dessert. You want it strong enough to hold its flavor through the layers.
- Prepare the Cream Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and chocolate liqueur. Whip until the mixture is light and fluffy, forming soft peaks.
- Soak the Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso, ensuring they absorb the flavor without becoming soggy. Lay them in a single layer in your serving dish.
- Layer the Ingredients: Spread a layer of the mascarpone mixture over the soaked ladyfingers, smoothing it out evenly. Repeat the process until you have at least three layers, finishing with the cream on top.
- Chill and Garnish: Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and add chocolate shavings for an elegant finish.
Notes
- Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality espresso and liqueurs for the best flavor.
- Chill Time: Allowing the dessert to set overnight will improve the flavors and texture.
- Layering Technique: Be gentle when layering to avoid breaking the ladyfingers.
- Experiment: Don’t hesitate to try different liqueurs or toppings to make it your own.
- Serve Cold: This dessert is best enjoyed cold, so make sure to keep it refrigerated until serving.
