Ingredients

  • 6 –8 ladyfinger biscuits or sponge fingers, if you prefer
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese full-fat for best results, FYI
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar sweet enough to make you smile
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream for that fluffy cloud-like texture
  • 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee cooled, because nobody likes hot coffee in dessert
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder for sprinkling
  • Optional: chocolate shavings berries, or a drizzle of caramel for extra pizzazz

Instructions

  • Prep your cups. Grab 4 small glasses or dessert cups—whatever makes you feel fancy.
  • Make the mascarpone cream. In a bowl, whisk mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Separately, whip heavy cream to soft peaks and gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture. Boom—instant fluffy bliss.
  • Dip your ladyfingers. Pour your cooled coffee into a shallow dish. Quickly dip each ladyfinger for 1–2 seconds—don’t let it get soggy!
  • Layer it up. Place a layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of each cup. Spoon a generous layer of mascarpone cream over the top. Repeat until the cup is nearly full.
  • Top with cocoa. Dust the top with cocoa powder and, if you’re feeling wild, add chocolate shavings or berries.
  • Chill. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight if you want it really set).
