Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee cooled
  • 3 tablespoons coffee liqueur optional
  • 3 large eggs separated
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 24-30 ladyfinger cookies
  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions
 

  • In a shallow dish, combine the brewed coffee and coffee liqueur. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until pale and creamy.
  • Add softened mascarpone cheese to the egg yolk mixture and beat until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
  • In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, creating a light and airy texture.
  • Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are well-coated but not soaked.
  • Arrange a layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish or individual glasses.
  • Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers layer.
  • Repeat the process with another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder.
  • Slice and serve chilled.
