Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Ladyfingers (Savoiardi)
  • Mascarpone Cheese
  • Espresso
  • Sweetener (Organic cane sugar or maple syrup)
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Cocoa Powder
  • Optional Liqueur (dark rum or Amaretto)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Coffee Base: Brew two shots of strong espresso or half a cup of very concentrated coffee. Allow it to cool completely.
  2. Whip the Cream Layer: In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone with your chosen sweetener and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and soft peaks form.
  3. The Quick Dip: Dip each ladyfinger in the cooled espresso for about one second per side.
  4. The First Layer: Break soaked ladyfingers into pieces to fit the bottom of your jars, creating a solid base layer.
  5. The Cream Filling: Spoon a generous portion of the mascarpone mixture over the biscuits, smoothing it out.
  6. Repeat the Process: Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers followed by the remaining cream.
  7. The Chilling Phase: Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least four hours.
  8. The Final Flourish: Dust cocoa powder over the top before serving.

Notes

Ensure your mascarpone is at room temperature before whisking. Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor.
