Ingredients
- 20 pieces ladyfinger cookies
- 1.5 cups strong brewed espresso, cooled
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese
- 1 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooled espresso with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese with the remaining sugar (about 6 tablespoons) until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture to create a light and airy filling.
Step 4
Quickly dip each ladyfinger cookie into the espresso mixture, ensuring both sides are lightly soaked but not soggy. Line the bottom of a 9x9-inch serving dish with a layer of dipped ladyfingers.
Step 5
Spread half of the mascarpone filling evenly over the layer of ladyfingers.
Step 6
Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone filling.
Step 7
Dust the top layer generously with unsweetened cocoa powder. Optionally, sprinkle dark chocolate shavings over the top for added decadence.
Step 8
Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Step 9
Serve chilled and enjoy your Dreamy Cappuccino Dessert!
