Ingredients

  • 18–20 ladyfinger cookies
  • 250g mascarpone cheese
  • 200ml heavy cream
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
  • 2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional, like Kahlúa or Marsala)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Brew coffee and let cool. Stir in coffee liqueur if using.
  2. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale and thick.
  3. Fold mascarpone into the egg mixture until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the mascarpone mixture.
  5. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture (1–2 seconds).
  6. Layer dipped ladyfingers and mascarpone cream alternately in jars, ending with a layer of cream.
  7. Dust tops with cocoa powder using a fine sieve.
  8. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.

Notes

  • Add grated chocolate between layers for extra richness.
  • Skip alcohol for a kid-friendly version using decaf coffee or hot chocolate.
  • Use flavored whipped cream (e.g., vanilla or almond) for a twist.
  • Freshen with a new dusting of cocoa if storing more than a day.
