Ingredients

1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled

4 large egg yolks

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 cup mascarpone cheese

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 package (7 oz) ladyfinger cookies

Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Dark chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the egg yolks and granulated sugar. Whisk together until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy (about 5 minutes).

Once fluffy, gently fold the mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk mixture until smooth.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture to combine them without deflating.

Dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee briefly (do not soak) and lay them in a single layer in a 9x9-inch square dish or a similar-sized trifle dish.

Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of ladyfingers.

Repeat the layer by dipping the remaining ladyfingers in coffee and placing them on top of the mascarpone.

Spread the rest of the mascarpone mixture over the second layer of ladyfingers, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld.

Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings.
