# Ingredients Required:
→ Mascarpone Cream
01 -
1 cup thick heavy cream
02 -
1 cup rich mascarpone cheese
03 -
1/3 cup white sugar
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Coffee Soaking Mixture
05 -
1 cup super strong brewed coffee or espresso
06 -
2 tablespoons coffee liqueur if you like it boozy
07 -
2 tablespoons sugar
→ Assembly
08 -
12 crisp ladyfinger cookies
# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Stick your little cups in the fridge for at least four hours. That way, everything blends together before you try a bite.
02 -
Keep going with alternating soaked cookies and the creamy filling, but make sure that a big swoop of cream stays on top.
03 -
Spoon a big dollop of mascarpone filling over each ladyfinger layer in your cups.
04 -
Drop your dipped ladyfingers into each cup or ramekin as your first layer.
05 -
Just dip the ladyfingers super quick in the cold coffee mix. Don’t let them sit too long—they fall apart fast.
06 -
Boil a cup of water then cool a little. Mix in the coffee (or espresso) and the sugar until there are no grains left. Throw in the coffee liqueur if that's your thing, and set it aside to cool fully.
07 -
Take your whipped cream and gently mix it into the mascarpone bowl. Don't rush—it'll get creamy and fluffy as you go.
08 -
Grab another bowl and toss in the heavy cream and vanilla. Whip till those soft, bouncy peaks show up.
09 -
In a big bowl, scoop in your mascarpone and toss in the sugar. Use a spatula to fold gently until the mix is totally smooth and the sugar’s gone.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Trying to avoid alcohol? Just swap in some extra vanilla or leave out the booze altogether.
02 -
You can make this dairy-free by using coconut cream for the mascarpone, and coconut or soy cream instead of the usual heavy cream.
