Ingredients
Ingredients List:
- ½ cup Vermont Creamery Mascarpone Cream Cheese, chilled
- ½ cup Smith Brothers Farms Heavy Whipping Cream, chilled
- 2 tbsp Woodstock Farms Organic Powdered Sugar
- ½ tsp Simply Organic Pure Vanilla Extract
- 4-6 DeLallo Savoiardi Ladyfingers, chopped in 3 or 4 pieces
- ¼ cup strong brewed coffee or espresso
- Cocoa powder or shaved chocolate
Preparation
- Make the Cream In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture reaches almost stiff peaks. Add the mascarpone cheese and continue beating until fully incorporated and stiff peaks form. Take care not to overbeat, as the mixture may become grainy.
- Layer the Ingredients Place chopped ladyfingers in the bottom of individual serving glasses or a single large dish. Drizzle the ladyfingers generously with brewed coffee (or coffee liqueur mixture, as preferred) to soak them thoroughly. Spoon a layer of the mascarpone cream mixture over the soaked ladyfingers. Add another layer of chopped ladyfingers, drizzle with additional coffee to soak, and top with the remaining cream mixture, creating even layers.
- Chill to Set Cover and refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 1–2 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the structure to set. Before serving, dust the top evenly with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve. Alternatively, garnish with shaved dark chocolate. Serve chilled.
