Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 8 oz Mascarpone cheese (low sodium if available)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1.5 tbsp Espresso powder (unsweetened, low sodium)
- 1 cup Ladyfinger cookies (unsalted, finely crushed)
- 2 tbsp Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate shavings (optional, low sodium variety)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Step 2
Add the heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract to the mascarpone mixture. Whisk until fully combined and no lumps remain.
Step 3
Stir in the espresso powder until it is completely dissolved in the mixture. Taste and adjust the espresso flavor if desired.
Step 4
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 5
In the final 5 minutes of churning, slowly add the crushed ladyfinger cookies to incorporate them evenly into the ice cream.
Step 6
Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container, layering it with cocoa powder and optional chocolate shavings if desired. Ensure a sprinkle of cocoa powder covers the top layer for a tiramisu-like finish.
Step 7
Cover the container tightly and freeze the ice cream for 2-4 hours or until firm.
Step 8
When ready to serve, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and garnish with an additional dusting of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings, if preferred.
