Instructions
-
In a stand mixer, whip heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until medium stiff peaks form.
-
Gently fold mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream with a rubber spatula until smooth and luxurious.
-
Combine cooled espresso and coffee liqueur in a shallow dish.
-
Dip ladyfingers into the espresso mixture for 1 to 2 seconds per side, arranging a single snug layer in the bottom of an 8x8-inch glass dish.
-
Spread half of the mascarpone cream evenly over ladyfingers, repeat with a second layer of dipped biscuits, and top with remaining cream.
-
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to set, then dust heavily with cocoa powder just before slicing.
Notes & Tips
Dip ladyfingers very briefly so they don't get soggy and compromise the cake structure.
